How do I adjust the clutch on a Nissan Micra?

To adjust the clutch on a Nissan Micra, you will need the following tools:

- A 10mm wrench

- A 12mm wrench

- A flat-head screwdriver

- A pair of pliers

Step 1: Locate the clutch cable adjustment bolt

The clutch cable adjustment bolt is located on the side of the transmission, near the top of the engine. It is a 10mm bolt with a lock nut.

Step 2: Loosen the lock nut

Use the 12mm wrench to loosen the lock nut on the clutch cable adjustment bolt.

Step 3: Turn the adjustment bolt

Use the 10mm wrench to turn the adjustment bolt clockwise until the clutch pedal has about 1 inch of free play.

Step 4: Tighten the lock nut

Use the 12mm wrench to tighten the lock nut on the clutch cable adjustment bolt.

Step 5: Test the clutch pedal

Press the clutch pedal down and make sure that it has about 1 inch of free play. If it does not, repeat steps 2-4.

Step 6: Test drive the vehicle

Take the vehicle for a test drive to make sure that the clutch is working properly. If the clutch is slipping or grabbing, you may need to adjust the clutch cable again.

Tips:

- If you are not comfortable working on your own vehicle, you can take it to a qualified mechanic to have the clutch adjusted.

- Be careful not to overtighten the clutch cable adjustment bolt, as this could damage the clutch.

- If you are having difficulty adjusting the clutch, you may need to replace the clutch cable or the clutch itself.
