converting to solid clutch, have ??
My cousin said that I should replace the clutch release lever bushing. He said it was a piece of plastic that will probably wear out before this new clutch will.
Anyone know the proper termanology for this part, I haven't been in there yet.
Want to gather all my parts before I start disassembly. Freaking snow won't stop falling and I can't get much downtime.
Thanks

Yep that Ebay link is the permanent repair to your problems! that plastic bushing is junk and goes bad. If its not fixed it wears the rod that the clutch rod goes on making the next bushing wear even faster.
Don't know what Ford calls it but it something like the "clutch rod bushing" or something like that.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly where that part is at.
If its the part that the pushrod for the clutch master hooks on too or what is going on.
*shrugs*
It seems like its the pedal pivot bearing. But i could be incorrect. I havn't got up there and looked, its really tough to get under that damn dash for me. I'm not small enough. haha. to long to get my arms in there.
So is it the armature bushing that connects to the master cylinder plunger?
I belive mine is plastic also, again. My one that got replaced was plastic, the eye cracked and made the pedal stop working. Had to replace whole cylinder.

William look at the clutch rod coming out of the firewall. there is a peg coming out of the clutch pedal where the master cylinder rod attaches to the pedal. That bushing is right there. The Ebay fix replaces the eye on the end of the master cylinder rod for a permanent fix.

Sorry, I mean the pivot for the clutch fork. I guess that's what its called. My link at the clutch pedal in the cab is okay.

Oh got ya! I don't think there is any kind of bushing there just a replaceable ball stud and the clutch fork itself. I could be wrong though.
