I doubt that makes any difference to how well the clutch disengages though. But supposing there's not, is there any problem in putting this brake pedal and bracket in, instead of the clutch one - other than I would need to take the switch off and maybe bend it's bracket out the way a bit to let the pedal come up fully?Īlso why are the holes in the bracket for the spring in different positions on each side? I'm pretty sure the problem with the one in the car being slack with the pedal full up is that it's in the RH hole and should be in the LH one. I guess I can see if there's much difference while I'm doing that. So, I was thinking of putting the replacement in and looking at fixing the one that comes out. Whereas, the brake pedal is turning on its pin, and the hole in the bracket don't seem to be worn. That's even though the pin's not ceased or even stiff in the pedal bearing. On the issue of the pedals, I got the other set, and the hole for the pin in this clutch pedal bracket is a little bit worn - the pin is rotating in that hole, not the pedal rotating on the pin. Any body got a picture of where it is in a Herald? I will look for this hole for the fulcrum pivot pin if it stops raining long enough. So I'll see if there's a thermal aspect to the issue next time I've chance. I've only checked it with everything cold, and I did notice the problem when everything was well warmed through. While I'm still not ecstatic about how far down the pedal has to go down to properly disengage the clutch, and the need to push it so that it's further than flush with the ridge between the floor and bulkhead now there's no sign of it dragging and slowing the starter when that's operated in gear. I may have to look at gluing it up against the bulkhead if this really is the cause and repeats again. That seems to have at least improved things. So I pushed it up and made sure the pedal goes into the recess above that ridge properly. I think that was stopping it a bit early - perhaps against that ridge so more than just 2 carpet thicknesses early. Couldn't see a problem there, but I did find the carpet had slipped down the inside of the bulkhead and folded up along the top of the ridge just under the pedal. I looked at the pedal pivot as the easiest thing to fix. Worth a check the pedal pivot has not seized it must return to its back stop to give you a full stroke , any bleeding must have the nipple above the slave feed pipe often its reversed and you cant bleed air out

Its gearbox of to renovate the pivot bushes If the crinkle sleeve has failed you may notice the pin is a slack fit in the hole this is a common failing

worth a bit of a clean a look at the pin movement when someone presses the pedal You can just see the pivot pin in its hole in the clutch hsg.
