Hello,

Recently, I bought Toyota Yaris 2007, 1.3 VVT-i, MT, Engine: 2SZFE, French build, LHD, 114 000 km.

I've a problem with the clutch pedal biting point, which is fully down to the floor for all of the gears. Sometimes when I try to shift into Reverse (even if the clutch pedal is fully depressed) a grinding noise is heard when I move the gear shift. If I push the pedal fully down on the floor, shift into 1st gear and release the pedal even 1-2 mm higher than the floor, I can feel that the car starts moving. Sometimes when I drive and switch from 1-st to 2-nd gear, the shifting of the gear is a bit difficult (the pedal must be strongly pressed fully to the floor). My legs get tired after a long drive and sometimes I cannot make such a presure, so the difficult shifting problem appears.

The pedal free play is around 17-18 mm. The push road play is 7-8 mm. The pedal height from the floor seems to be OK (It's a bit higher than the brake pedal). I can depresss the pedal fully to the bottom of the floor. When relased, the pedall gets back to its highest position normally. The pedal is not soft.

The clutch is not replaced. Service technicians said that I need a new clutch. I asked them if bleeding is needed, but they said that the clutch fork mooving is quite well far, so the hidravlic system is OK, and bleeding can even worse the problem. Here is how the clutch fork looks like when the pedall is fully released and fully depresed:

I was wondering if the pedall free play rod can be adjusted, but I can't seen andy adjustments on my master cylinder. Please see the left part of the figure bellow:

Can you give me some advice?

Thanks,

Nikolay
