a. With the master cylinder rod end removed, manually move the pedal up and down to determine if it moves

freely.

b. If any sticking is noted, replace the clutch pedal assembly. Re-verify that the master cylinder rod end

moves freely.

3. Adjust clutch interlock switch (1) position so that clearance

between clutch pedal (2) and thread end of clutch interlock

switch (1), with clutch pedal fully depressed, is within specifica-

tion (C).

4. Check the clutch hydraulic system components (clutch master cylinder, clutch pedal and CSC (Concentric

Slave Cylinder) for sticking or binding.

a. If any sticking or binding is noted, repair or replace the related parts as necessary.
