How to Adjust the Clutch Height of the Verna?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the clutch height of the Verna is: 1. Remove the plastic cover above the clutch pedal; 2. Use a wrench to loosen the fastening screw on the push rod of the master cylinder; 3. Turn the adjustment rod towards the connecting head. The Verna is a compact car under Beijing Hyundai, with body dimensions of: length 4300 mm, width 1705 mm, height 1460 mm, and a wheelbase of 2570 mm. The Verna is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 70 kW and a maximum torque of 132.4 Nm. It adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
I drive an old Verna myself, and after driving a manual for a long time, I always felt the clutch pedal was too hard to press. Adjusting the height isn’t actually difficult, but you need to find the right spot. For pre-2012 hydraulic clutch models, you need to open the engine hood and locate the clutch master cylinder near the firewall. There’s a pushrod with a locknut on the master cylinder rod—first loosen the nut with a 12mm wrench, then manually rotate the pushrod to adjust its length: turning it clockwise raises the engagement point, while turning it counterclockwise lowers it. A quarter-turn at a time is enough, and make sure to tighten the nut immediately after adjusting. The key is to start the car and test the clutch engagement point, adjusting until the half-engagement position matches your preferred height before finishing. Be careful not to set it too high, or the clutch won’t fully disengage, which can accelerate wear. Last time, it took me three tries to find the most comfortable position, but after the adjustment, my leg doesn’t get sore even in city traffic.
