Release Lever Clearance
|
It is important that a clearance should exist between the clutch release bearing and its thrust plate. As wear of the driven plate friction linings takes place, this clearance will diminish, and if neglected clutch slip will result.
To check the clearance, pull the clutch operating lever outwards away from the stop bolt on the clutch end cover and measure the gap between the lever and the stop with a feeler gauge . This should be 0.020 in (0.5 mm), or 0.060 in (1.5 mm) on very early models without the shouldered throw-out stop at the central boss on the clutch housing.
Adjust if necessary by slackening the stop bolt locknut and screw the bolt in or out as necessary to obtain the correct clearance. Tighten the locknut and recheck the gap.
