recorrido/juego libre del pedal
Explanation:
"pedal-free" respecto al "clutch", se refiere a lo que se llama más usualmente "pedal free-play", que es la parte inicial del recorrido del pedal, desde que se comienza a apretar hasta que el embrague comienza a actuar. En español: "recorrido libre", o "juego libre" del pedal del embrague. Está explicado en las siguientes referencias:

"Your clutch pedal should move down three-quarters of an inch to 1 inch without effort and then require a good deal more effort to travel the rest of the way down to the floor. This pedal free-play ensures that when you release the pedal, the clutch disk is fully engaged.
Too much pedal free-play isn’t good, because too much pedal travel is used up doing nothing: There’s not enough movement left at the bottom of its travel to compress the clutch springs and allow the engine flywheel and the clutch disk to separate. With this excessive pedal play, the gears clash whenever you shift into First or Reverse from a stopped position"

"Free Pedal Play
If your clutch pedal feels all loose-and-goosey, its freeplay is probably out of adjustment. "Freeplay" is the distance, usually measured in inches or fractions of an inch, that the clutch pedal can be depressed before it starts to "work," or disengage the clutch."
