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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 in clutch slippage or other clutch problems.
Without cruise control: The adjusting bolt is substituted as clutch pedal position switch. The clutch pedal height adjustment is same procedure as with the clutch pedal position switch.

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).
