I was Bubba today
Pushed in my clutch pedal and WHAM right to the floor.
The push rod that goes from the pedal to the cross shaft snapped in the threaded part. Went to the hardware store and bought a threaded rod coupler and spliced it back together. Worked like a charm. New push rod has already been ordered. :yesnod:

You got it back on the road and have the correct fix coming. I guess that was just a temporary Bubba. It should be ok as long as it doesn`t become permanent.

Don't get lazy and forget to do the real job just because this one "works"! I superglued the shower door guide back together in my shower last summer, then bought the replacements...
Just replaced last week. :)

Yep, a temporary fix is one thing... a permanent Bubba is a :nono:
