CAUTION: The clutch master cylinder (1) pushrod adjustment must not be used to change pedal freeplay or pedal height. Using the adjustable pushrod for these reasons will result in premature clutch wear or system over/undertravel. See Fig 1.

NOTE: The clutch master cylinder/hydraulic release system does not have its own reservoir. This system is supplied fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir.
