I got noticably more clutch travel and reduced problems by just
replacing the clevis pin. Mine had NASTY grooves worn in it, maybe .03-.05"
deep. This helped. The hole is a bit elongated and also the bushings at
the top are worn, but I got enough travel back with the clevis, which is
easy, quick and cheap. I did get new bushings for whenever I get a round
tuit for pulling the pedal box. :-) I keep the old clevis in my office as
a conversation item.
