  2. Depress and release the clutch pedal two or three times to ensure that the clutch pedal and release lever operate smoothly. If the clutch pedal and release lever do not operate smoothly, bleed air from the clutch hydraulic system. Refer to CLUTCH FLUID AIR BLEEDING .
  3. Measure the clutch pedal full stroke length again to ensure that it is within specifications. If it is not within specifications, repeat adjustment procedures again from the beginning.

  4. Push the release lever until the operating cylinder push rod retracts. Make sure that the clutch fluid level in the reservoir tank increases. If the clutch fluid level increases, the hydraulic clutch is properly adjusted. If the clutch fluid level does not increase or the push rod does not retract, replace the master cylinder with a new part. Refer to MASTER CYLINDER .
