137.6 to 147.6 mm (5.417 to 5.811 in.)
(c) Adjust the pedal height.
(1) Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the correct height is obtained.
(2) Tighten the lock nut.
Torque: 25 N*m (250 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf)



2. INSPECT PEDAL FREE PLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
(a) Check that pedal free play and push rod play are correct.
(1) Depress the pedal until clutch resistance
begins to be felt.
Standard pedal free play:
5.0 to 15.0 mm (0.197 to 0.591 in.)
(2) Gently depress the pedal until the resistance begins to increase a little.
Standard push rod play at pedal top:
1.0 to 5.0 mm (0.039 to 0.197 in.)
(b) Adjust the pedal free play and push rod play.
(1) Remove the No. 1 instrument panel airbag lower.
(2) Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until correct free play and push rod play are obtained.
(3) Tighten the lock nut.
Torque: 12 N*m (120 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf)
(4) After adjusting the pedal free play, check the pedal height.
(5) Install the No. 1 instrument panel airbag lower



3. INSPECT CLUTCH RELEASE POINT

(a) Check the clutch release point.
(1) Pull the parking brake lever and use wheel chocks to secure the vehicle.
(2) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(3) Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly move the shift lever into reverse until the gears contact.
(4) Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the stroke distance from the point that the gear noise stops (release point) up to the full stroke end position.
Standard distance:
25 mm or more (From pedal stroke end position to release point)
If the distance is not as specified, perform the following the operations.
• Check the pedal height.
• Check the push rod play and pedal free play.
• Bleed air from the clutch line.
• Check the clutch cover and disc.
