Good morning .I have heard and read so many versions on the setting of the clutch master cylinder push rod free play.
I have a land rover defender 90 TD5 2006. The clutch master cylinder"box" has no pedal height adjusting bolt,only the lower pedal stop bolt.
I am told that the clearance between the master cylinder piston and "push" rod must be 1.5mm
there are two lock nuts nearer the master cylinder and a nylock nut on the other side of the trunion
the question I ask is where to measure the clearance required.
is it measured between the lock nuts and the trunion or between the piston and the ball end of the push rod. Without the free play what will go wrong. I suspect the clutch release bearing might drag if there is no clearance.
