That's pretty typical on the TR6.  It usually gets worse gradually over time 
as the clevis and clevis pin wears.  The hole in the throwout shaft lever will 
also wear.  Sometimes it gets so bad that one must resort to extreem measure 
like usint the pin the shaft lever closest to the shaft.

Having a rigid push rod is a good thing as a flexible one would be 
detrimental to clutch operation.  Seriously, since the TR6 hydraulics are self adjusting 
putting in an adjustable rod would not resolve the situation.
