i pulled the slave's clevis pin (AI017), and find the pin is quite worn and out 
of 
round; and there is a good bit of elongation in the holes of the clutch fork 
(AI009A)---but a LOT more in the slave's push rod (AI016 )...i don't know how 
measure it, but there is a good bit of "slop" there..

is it foolish/wishful thinking to hope to *patch* it up (like by replacing the 
push rod 
and pin) where it will work *this* driving season by simply replacing the pin 
and 
push rod??

hmmm...i noticed i could move the clutch fork almost half an inch by hand, 
without a whole lot of effort--does that mean something?

sorry if boring the list with stupid questions--i'd really rather be 
driving..anyway, 
i don't have the tools, space, time, nor expertise to pull the engine and fix 
rebuild 
the clutch myself....anyone recommend a good repair person in Denmark????

sigh!
