NOTE: The clutch pilot bearing is an oil
impregnated type bearing pressed into the
crankshaft. This bearing requires atten-
tion when the clutch is removed from the
vehicle, at which time it should be cleaned
and inspected for excessive wear or dam-
age and should be replaced if necessary.
PEDAL REPOSITIONING
Earlier Corvette clutch linkage includes a
provision for a second clutch setting which
reduces total pedal travel approximately
1Y2 in. The reduced travel will make the re-
lease faster and permit faster gear shifting.
1. Remove the clutch return spring at the
cross-shaft and the pedal push rod at the
pedal.
2. Loosen the pedal bracket lower bolt,
remove the upper bolt, and rotate the bracket
so that it will align with the extra upper bolt
hole. Install the upper bolt.
3. Disconnect the pedal push rod at the
cross-shaft and turn it Vz turn. Reconnect the
push rod at the cross-shaft.
4. Tighten the bracket bolts and connect
the pedal push rod.
