Steve,

Take the pedal out and have a welder do it. 

Replace both the pushrod and clevis pin.  Probably a good time to replace or rebuild the master cylinder.

Cheers 

Tracy

It seems that the the hole at the top of the clutch pedal and the hole on the clutch MC push rod have both been stretched into oblong shapes, resulting in extra free play in the pedal, and the push rod isn't getting pushed in all the way, creating an "iffy" shifting situation.  Here is a picture of the mess...

What I think I want to do at least at first is go after the hole with some bits of metal and lots of JB Weld.  Also, I see that I probably have to un-mount the entire MC support structure to get the clutch MC off, to get the push rod out, which looks like no fun, so I will probably opt to do some sort of repair on the existing push rod as well.   Or is there a way to get that push rod out with dissecting the whole thing?  I am just back from the (closing this year) Moss store in Dover, NJ, and have a new push rod in hand.
