Clutch Pedal, Clutch Pedal Position Switch, and Clutch Interlock Switch Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

For a cruise control problem, check the clutch pedal position switch (see CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH TEST ).
For a clutch interlock operation problem, check the clutch interlock switch (see CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST ).
Remove the driver's floor mat before adjusting the clutch pedal.
If there is no clearance between the master cylinder piston and the push rod, the release bearing will be held against the diaphragm spring, which can result it clutch slippage or other clutch problems.

Disconnect the clutch pedal position switch connector and the clutch interlock switch connector.
Loosen the clutch pedal position switch locknut (A), and back off the clutch pedal position switch (B) until it no longer touches the clutch pedal (C).
