when used with an non-synchronized transmission. The
brake "squeeze" should begin at about 1" from the floor
board or the end of the pedal stroke
• All clutches require 1 Y/" of free pedal at the top of the
pedal stroke to prevent slipping and burning Never adjust
free pedal with the linkage.

pedal travel and the brake actuation point.

the Clutch Linkage Section of the Service Manual which
covers the vehicle model being serviced.
