That's pretty typical on the TR6. It usually gets worse gradually over time
as the clevis and clevis pin wears. The hole in the throwout shaft lever will
also wear. Sometimes it gets so bad that one must resort to extreem measure
like usint the pin the shaft lever closest to the shaft.
Having a rigid push rod is a good thing as a flexible one would be
detrimental to clutch operation. Seriously, since the TR6 hydraulics are self
adjusting
putting in an adjustable rod would not resolve the situation.
