Clutch Master Cylinder Push Rod Adjustment

 

To determine if the clutch master cylinder push rod and clutch master cylinder lever pin are in the correct relationship, disconnect the push rod and note if it will reassemble to the pin. When the push rod is disconnected from the pin, the clutch master cylinder piston is fully retracted rearward and the clutch pedal blade is contacting the rubber bumper UP stop.

If the two components are not in alignment, perform the following only in this sequence:

  1. Tighten left side clutch pedal attaching nut.

  1. Install clutch master cylinder push rod to the clutch push rod bracket pin.

  1. NOTE: This step is mandatory.

    Stroke clutch pedal (7519) several times to reset position of shaft to pedal slot.

  1. Again, remove the clutch master cylinder push rod from clutch master cylinder lever pin and evaluate alignment. If the two components are still not in alignment, replace the clutch push rod lever. If the push rod is aligned with the pin, no further action is required.
