The master cylinder pin on my 84 Vette clutch pedal was worn so bad it was not allowing the full throw of my slave the first inch of clutch movement would not press the master cylinder. Today I pulled the pedal out and replaced the pin with a few parts from Lowes total was $2.00 and about two hours time.


Parts used


Here is the worn pin



New pin installed. I cut it to size and tack welded it

Informative post, ray1979. Will suggest to the mod that it be added to the 'sticky' list.
