No one has mentioned this item I think. What is holding your clevis to the
clutch pedal and is it free or does it bind when fully depressed.
I run a bolt in my Girling 5/8 master cylinder in the race car and use a
bolt with a nyloc nut. If I tighten the bolt and nut to tight it will cause
a binding and the clutch pedal to stick or operate not as freely.
