Clutch Pedal Adjustment - Hudson Terraplane 1950 Owner's Manual

HUDSON OWNER MANUAL

CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT

To assure full disengagement of the clutch to prevent clashing when shifting gears and
also to prevent the clutch pedal from riding against the floor board, 112" clearance must
be maintained between the floor board and rear face of pedal.
This can be adjusted by loosening lock nut
(A), removing cotter pin and clevis pin (C),
and turning yoke (B) to increase or decrease
the clearance as required. Replace clevis pin
and cotter pin and tighten lock nut securely.
LUBRICATION
The clutch throwout bearing should be
lubricated every 1,000 miles, using viscous
chassis lubricant applied through the grease
fitting on the right side of the clutch housing.
The clutch pedal shaft bushings should also
be lubricated at intervals of 1,000 miles, us-
ing viscous chassis lubricant applied through
the grease fitting on the bottom of the pedal,
reached from underneath the car.
Every 5,000 miles the clutch should be drained and refilled with HUDSONITE
CLUTCH COMPOUND, which is produced in the Hudson Engineering Laboratories, and
Figure 31
is available through all Authorized Hudson
Dealers. The exclusive use of this compound
is your assurance of obtaining smooth, even
clutch action.
The clutch is drained without disturbing
the flywheel guard by removing hex plug
(A) in the front face of the flywheel. Then
rotate the flywheel until the first star
stamped on the flywheel face appears in
inspection hole over starter motor and allow
the old fluid to drain out. Turn flywheel until
filler hole reappears and refill with 1/3 pint
of HUDSONITE CLUTCH COMPOUND.
Replace plug and tighten securely.
