Well, the next priority skipped the line. The clutch pedal has gotten very inconsistent, sometimes not returning all the way, sometimes needing excessive pressure to depress. Assuming that my issue lies in the clutch cable, it is time to convert to hydraulic. First lets get the pedal support out:
While taking the pedal support out, I found the source of the slop feeling that is present when both the clutch and brake pedals are pushed simultaneously. The shaft runs through the inserts you see above, with plastic bearings in the inserts. These pressed inserts have vibrated loose, and have added some slop. So... lets fix that first. Unfortunately they are made of mystery metal, and I don't want to mess with an adhesive here. So... lets remake them:
After welding we need to get them straight again:
Then of course order new plastic bearings. Every project must start with a warm up project.
