Sure sounds like a broken taper pin to me.

Me too. In fact, you might try just removing the return spring and letting
the slave "self adjust" as the later ones do. That might work OK, with only
occasional need to pump the pedal if at all.

I don't see why not, if you can get enough free play with it on the other
side. I just wasn't thinking that way, I guess. Don't be surprised if it
has to be adjusted several times though, as the taper pin fragments get
further mangled.
Good Luck!
