On-car maintenance — clutch pedal (Nissan X-Trail T31)

Table of contents: Examination ↓ Adjustment ↓

Examination

1. Make sure that the tip of the clutch master cylinder piston rod moves freely. Its movement should not be restricted by the clutch pedal.

If the free movement of the piston rod end is obstructed, remove the piston rod end and inspect it for deformation or damage. Do not reinstall the piston rod until step 2 has been completed.

2. Check the free play of the clutch pedal.

a. Move the clutch pedal up and down by hand with the clutch master cylinder rod end removed and make sure it moves freely.

b. If binding occurs, replace the clutch pedal assembly.

Then check again that the clutch master cylinder piston rod tip moves freely.

3. Check the position of the cruise control clutch switch (on models with cruise control).

a. If the tip of the rod moves with binding, make sure that there is no load applied to the clutch pedal from the cruise control clutch switch, which causes the tip of the rod to bind. In this case, disconnect the connector from the switch and adjust by rotating the cruise control clutch switch.

b. Connect the connector to the cruise control clutch switch.

4. Check if the hydraulic clutch drive components are sticking (clutch master cylinder assembly, concentric slave cylinder).

a. If jamming occurs, correct the deficiencies or replace the relevant components.

b. If repairs are required to the clutch hydraulic drive, bleed it. See below.

Note: Do not use a vacuum or mechanical device to bleed the hydraulic system, as such devices do not completely remove air from the system.

Adjustment

Cruise control clutch switch

Adjust the position of the cruise control clutch switch (1) so that the gap between the clutch pedal (2) and the threaded end of the switch with the clutch pedal fully released is equal to value "A" (on models with cruise control).

Gap "A". See below under "Technical data and specifications".
