I recently took my 85' f350 to the ford dealership for clutch problems. It has a 4spd. They told me I need to find parts for the clutch pedal assembly. Everytime I step on my clutch pedal, it has 1-2 inches of play before the clutch is engaged.
This is the picture they gave me.
Can anybody lead me in the right direction.
Telling us what parts they say you need would be helpful.... have you looked under there at all to try and find, say, worn bushings or sumthin'?
They didn't tell me exactly what parts I needed. Their exact words were "you need a clutch pedal assembly. All your parts are worn out". So depending on price, I was going to replace everything. I can't find anything online.
My best guess is they're trying to make you go away cuz they don't want to phuque with it... clutch pedal stuff getting worn out happens all the time with mechanical clutches but not so much with the hydraulic variant that you have... but your firewall is prone to flexing and cracking and that causes incomplete clutch travel... have somebody operate the pedal while you watch from the engine bay area...
NOTE: I have no idea what your problem is, only that the dealer says you need a pedal assembly and shoo'd you off......

I appreciate all the help. I'll have to take a look and see exactly what is going on under there. if I do find something wrong, where do I go to find replacement parts or can I only get used?
Once the 2471 plastic bushings wear through, the shaft starts eating into the pedal support casting.
It's pot metal, so difficult to build back up and the odd shape means it will take time to fixture and ream to size if you did.
Finding a complete (used) '83-'86 manual pedal assembly is the expedient solution.

I got the joint off ebay, I think it was a 3/8"
then cut off the eyelet off the push rod
drilled the threads out of the heim joint so I could slide the push rod through
then I drilled and taped the heim joint for a set screw
on the arm the push rod clips to I ground the weld that held the stud in place and drove it out with a punch
My 81 linkage has the same issues. Fromwhat I have found there are a bushing or 2 missing in mine also.
My plan is I have a parts truck and goingto use the best parts I have and repair what I need to by welding the holes upand re-drilling them and weld the studs and grind/file back round to fit theholes. I am also thinking of hitting the hardware store for brass bushings sothe parts are not metal on metal. Dave ----

they're nylon bushings: EOTZ-2471-A (1980/91 F100/350 & Bronco) wear through, the shaft starts eating into the pedal support casting: E4TZ-2L252-B (replaced EOTZ-2L252-B & E1TZ-2L252-A) = 1980/86 F100/350 & Bronco M/T only.
