Here are the steps involved in adjusting the clutch:
1. Ensure the vehicle is in neutral.
2. Raise the vehicle and securely support it with jack stands.
3. Locate the clutch cable (it runs from the transmission to the clutch pedal).
4. At the clutch cable adjustment point located near the transmission. loosen the locknut on the cable adjustment point with a 13mm wrench.
5. Turn the adjuster nut (located just below the locknut) with a 10mm wrench until there is a slight amount of slack in the clutch cable (about 1/8 inch).
6. Hold the adjuster nut in place with a wrench while tightening the locknut with a 13mm wrench.
7. Lower the vehicle and test drive to ensure the clutch is engaging and disengaging smoothly.
Tips:
- Adjust the clutch cable in small increments and test the clutch each time to avoid making over adjustments
- If the clutch feels too stiff or too loose after adjustment, you may need to adjust the clutch cable again or have a professional mechanic inspect the clutch system.
- Regular maintenance and adjustment of the clutch cable can help to extend the life of the clutch and driveline components
