WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: This clutch pedal assembly is unadjustable because of its structure.

Measure the clutch pedal looseness (A).
Standard value (A): 4 mm (0.16 inch) or less
If the clutch pedal looseness is not within the standard value, the clutch pedal assembly may have an abnormality. In this case, check the clutch pedal assembly, and replace if necessary.

If the clutch pedal play and height as well as the clearance between the clutch pedal and pedal stopper when the clutch is disengaged are not within the standard value, the air intrusion into the hydraulic system may have occurred, or either the clutch master cylinder or the clutch release cylinder may have an abnormality. In this case, perform air bleeding (refer to CLUTCH BLEEDING ), or check the clutch master cylinder or the clutch release cylinder, and replace if necessary.
