Replacing the rubber pad on the clutch pedal today. I noticed there was a good amount of what I perceived to be excessive slop in the pivot point. Where the pedal can move side to side by about 1/2 of an inch or maybe slightly more.
looked it up and there are 2 bushings (#4 in image) in the pedal where it sits on the pivot/support shaft.
(clicky pic)
Do those bushings have a tendancy to wear out ? or is this side to side movement normal for this particular setup ?
