Just went through the same problem with mine. Had to replace the pedal
assembly and the push rod. Didn't change out the CMC, just exchanged
the rod. Luckily had spares to make the fix.
Anyway, the pushrods on the TR3 are adjustable. There is about a 1/2 to
3/4 in threaded end to the pushrod over which a U-shaped connector is
fastened. The top end of the clutch pedal is fastened between this
connector. You can lengthen or shorten the pushrod for proper clutch
response.

Food for thought....
