Clutch System Introduction<br />

Free pedal is the distance the clutch pedal moves by<br />

applying only slight pressure. During free pedal the<br />

release yoke in the transmission moves until its bearing<br />

pads contact the release bearing. This movement of the<br />

release yoke is called free travel. Thus, free pedal and<br />

free travel are directly related to each other.<br />
