Check the pedal free play and push rod play.

1. Depress the clutch pedal until resistance is felt.
   

2. Measure the distance between the pedal's released position and the position in the previous step.
   

   Standard pedal free play:

   5.0 to 15.0 mm (0.197 to 0.591 in.)
   

3. Release the pedal. Using your finger, gently press the pedal until resistance increases slightly.
   

4. Measure the distance between the pedal's released position and the position in the previous step.
   

   Standard push rod play at pedal top:

   1.0 to 5.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.197 in.)
   

Adjust the pedal free play and push rod play.

1. Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until the pedal free play and push rod play are within the specified ranges.
   

   NOTICE:

   When loosening the lock nut, be sure to hold the clevis in place by its hexagonal portion.

2. Tighten the lock nut.
   

   Torque:

   12 N*m{120 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf}
