background:
1994 SC, 5sp, 105k miles, few bolt ons, B&M shifter, exhaust, intake.
Fluid level was very slightly low, so I topped it off.
Anyways when driving home from work yesterday the clutch when depressed made a pop, and then was loose. Next shift was normal, and it was fine for the rest of the ride. Tonday its doing it more and more frequently, but still maybe 15% of the time. No fluid leaks.
It turns out the connection at the pedal to master cylendar push rod was missing the plastic bushing/clip. My dad had a spare from last time this clip wore out, so he is shipping it to me the next week. For the time I just zip-tie'd the push rod so it stayes on the pin on the side of the pedal.
A few days after installing the new clip it is broken already and I can't drive the car again. The master cylinder push rod hole is worn to an oval shape. And the pin on the clutch pedal is worn down as well. It looks like I need to replace the pedal and the master cylinder.
Any advice on this would be appreciated.
I need to remove the master cylinder, its supposed to be 1/4 turn CCW and it comes out, but I have been unable to turn it, not sure the best method or how tight this is supposed to be.
The second part with the pedal. I have gotten the two nuts off the engine bay side, but am having difficulty geting to the bolt that goes up into the bottom side of the dash. Is it possible to remove this bolt without tearing the whole dash and AC system out?
Thanks
