Spanish term or phrase: pedal libre
Estoy traduciendo unas hojas del plan de matenimiento de unas unidades pesadas. El documento parece haber sido traducido de otro idioma al español:

"Clutch (motor encendido)
-- Soltura del clutch
-- Ruidos extraños
-- Pedal libre
-- Condición de la guaya"

No sé si será lo mismo que "free pedal play" o "freeplay"( Conseguí esta definición por google: "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.)

Gracias nuevamente

The clutch is designed to engage and disengage the connection between the engine flywheel and the transmission input shaft. The clutch is operated by pushing on the clutch pedal inside the vehicle, which causes the clutch to disengage, and as the pedal is released the clutch will engage.
