draulic clutch models there is provision for adjustment of the clutch mas-

The freeplay is the pedal slack, or the distance the pedal can be de-
pressed before it begins to have any effect on the clutch (see illustration).
The distance should be as listed in this Chapter’s specifications. It it isn’t, it
must be adjusted, as discussed under the appropriate heading below.
Cable actuated clutch
4 Working in the engine compartment, loosen the locknut, pull the outer
cable toward the front of the vehicle and turn the adjusting nut in until the
washer damper rubber contacts the firewall. Depress and release the
clutch pedal several times. Pull the cable forward again, tighten theadjust-
ing nut, then back it off to provide the specified amount of play (see illus-
tration). Tighten the locknut.
Hydraulic clutch
5 The freeplay is adjusted by turning the stopper bolt or adjustable
clutch master cylinder pushrod (see illustration). Loosen the locknut on
the pushrod or bolt. Turn the pushrod to achieve the proper freeplay, then
retighten the locknut. If the freeplay and height are not as specified after
adjustment, it may mean there is air in the system and it should be bled
(see Chapter 8).
20 Manual transmission lubricant level check
Refer to illustration 20.1
1 Manual transmissions don’t have a dipstick. The lubricant level is
checked by removing a filler plug from the side of the transmission case
(see illustration). Locate the plug and use a rag to clean~the plug and the
area around it. If the vehicle is raised to gain access to the plug, be sure to
support it safely on jackstands - DO NOT crawl under the vehicle when its
supported only by a jack!
2 With the engine and transmission cold, remove the plug. If lubricant
immediately starts leaking out, thread the plug back into the transmissron
-the level is correct. If It doesn’t, reach inside the hole with your kttle finger.
The level should be even with the bottom of the plug hole.
3 If the transmissron needs more lubricant, use a syringe or small pump
to add it through the plug hole.
4 Thread the plug back into the transmission and tighten it securely.
Drive the vehicle, then check for leaks around the plug.
