Clutch Pedal Disengagement Point

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Apply the parking brake and fix the front and rear of the wheels with the wheel chocks.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. With the clutch pedal depressed, move the shift lever to the position just before engaging the reverse gear. (Do not shift completely to reverse position)
  4. Gradually release the clutch pedal and then hold it at the point where the sound of gear-grinding begins (clutch disengagement point).
  5. Measure distance A from the clutch disengagement point to the position where the pedal has returned completely (not depressed), and verify that the measurement is within the specification.
    • If distance A or the pedal stroke is out of specification, adjust the pedal height or the clutch pedal free play to specification.
