ADJUST CLUTCH LINKAGE.

The aim of this adjustment is to ensure that the output motion generated by the transmission control unit is compatible

with the required stroke for the clutch control valve lever. It is also important that the clutch control valve lever goes

from neutral to both "gear engage" positions without bottoming. A slight amount of end play is essential.
