J-3. Clutch Pedal Adjustment
As t he clutch facings wear the free pedal travel
diminishes . Wh en sufficient wear occu rs to cause
t he pedal to rest against the toe board it is necessary
to adjust the free tr avel.
Note: Some older 'Jeep' vehicles may develop side
movement of the clutch and brake pedals r esulting
from wear of the pedals, sh afts, and bushings. On e
way to compensate for this wear is to install a pedal
slack ad ju ster k it.
Clutch cont rol us ed on Models CJ -2 A, and CJ -3A
is
shown in Fig . 174.
The free pedal cleara nce is ad justed by lengthenin g
or shortening the clutch control lever cable. Correct
clearance is 1 ~" [38, 1 mm. ). This clearance is
e
ssentia l to dis engage the clutc h release bearing
and prevent unnecessary wear and possible clutch
slippage. Wh en adjusted as outlined above there
is a safe clear ance of approximately VJ
6
"
[1 ,58 mm .)
between the clutch release bearings and the clutch
fingers.
To
make this adjust men t, l oosen clutc h control
lever cable ad ju sting yoke l ocknut Fig . 177. W ith
a wr ench un screw the cable, then tighten the lock-
nut.
Clut ch contro l used on Models CJ-3B , CJ -5, CJ-6,
and D J - 3A is shown in Fig. 1 77. T he free peda l
clear
ance is adj ust ed by lengt h ening or shortening
th e clutch cont rol cable. Correct clearance is 1"
[25,4 mm .).
