You may be looking at the safety switch that only allows the starter to crank when the clutch pedal is depressed. I believe it is located on or adjacent to the clutch pushrod and seems there are a lot of wires going to it. As for the hard clutch, the bushing is a little plastic thing that fits inside the eye of the master cylinder pushrod. I am wondering though if the throwout bearing and/or slave cylinder could be binding on the tranny input shaft to give the hard to press pedal.

some older models had firewall trouble at the point where the pedal mounts. open your hood and have someone check the firewall for cracks when you depress the pedal. I believe ford has a repair for this.

Clutch grabs about one inch off floor? Do you mean that is where it engages? It should engage higher up than that (I am thinking several inches). Wonder how many miles are on that clutch? I had a clutch go at about 60,000 miles. It was burnt and warped (not my fault, used vehicle) and started grinding gears, but as far as the friction action goes I never noticed any slippage.

Wow great. 99% of your trouble is fixed. Don't know why it still engages near the floor. Let's see if anyone else knows or maybe it would come up after a little use (how's the fluid level?).
