Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and remove any protective covers around the clutch pedal assembly.
2. Remove Old Cable: Loosen the mounting bolts on the existing cable, carefully detach it from the lever and linkage points, and note the routing path.

4. Adjust Tension: Use the built‑in tension adjustment screw to set the correct slack according to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically 10–15 mm of free play).
5. Test Operation: Reconnect the battery, press the clutch pedal through its full range, and verify smooth engagement and proper return to neutral.
