Clutch pedal bushing problems
Has anyone had problems with their clutch pedals nylon bushing wearing out every 2 months. Any sure fire way to fix it, getting tired of dealers "Try this if that don't work will try something else."

There is definately something wrong going on.You could have a new one made out of oilite by having someone machine it to the same dimensions as the original nylon one.It would probably last longer,but it still wouldn't be a permanent fix.

Clutch pedal bushing problems
The push rod has popped of center since I got the it in Jan doesn't come off the rod but pushes crooked and wears out the bushing, previous onwer said he replaced it twice, it had 60,000 on it when it got it and I have put 4 on in 17,000 miles.
The hyd slave cylinder cracked on me when I was 200 miles from home pulling a 20ft gooseneck horse trailer picked my least stops and turns to get home had 11 of them and one back up into driveway when got here. Anyway put a new slave and master cylinder on , dealer said they had a Tech update,was a old # ,they put the heavier one back on from 90 back to ? said probably would fix it, they gave me a new bushing and by the time I had gotten out of their lot the rod had popped off center. That was last summer and just wore another out a couple weeks ago, we made one out of a brass bearing bushing but it will slide of when wiggle the pedal by hand,stop by dealer again and they had all of this other stuff should try, the arm or rod is bent, the other nylon bushing in pedal assembly might be wore. When the bushing gets wore it'll grind when try to shift from a stop and harder than #@!! to shift into any gear.
I told the dealer was ready to go back to GMC
Anyway I stopped at parts store and bought a couple E-clips and put on the rod and it has stayed on but like ya said something has to be outa wack but till then I'll see how long this lasts.
Thanks
