      Standard distance: 25 mm (0.98 in.) or more (From pedal stroke end position to release point) 

      If the distance is not as specified, perform the following operations:

      • Check the pedal height.
      • Check push rod play and pedal free play.
      • Bleed the clutch line.
      • Check the clutch cover assembly and disc assembly.
