1984 Sunbird, Phoenix and early 1985 Grand Am models, are equipped with a cable controlled clutch mechanism. Clutch pedal free-play adjustment is required every 5,000 miles or less. The clutch adjustment is performed by simply lifting up on the clutch pedal. 1984 Fiero and Firebird models, and 1985 Fiero, Firebird and Sunbird models are equipped with a hydraulic clutch and do not require a free-play adjustment. The hydraulic clutch is also scheduled for mid-year production of the 1985 Grand Am.
Clutch pedal adjustment on the 1000 model is conventional, as outlined in the Service Manual.
General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
