Jdub: Could you be a little more specific regarding the bush at the clevis pin. I did

Yes, I think I can. There should be a bushing (my car is a '78sc) in the hole into which your clevis pin fits. That little hole is located at what I call the "ear" of the clutch pedal. This ear is part of a shaft that runs through the pedal rack assembly to the clutch pedal proper: the two are joined by the infamous clutch pin.

This is big with me because I was AMAZED to see when I went to rebuild my pedal rack that not only was the bushing gone, but the clevis pin was actually starting to wear an elongated hole in this hole. A rebuild with Pelican's bronze bushing kit transformed the pedal action - you could literally push the clutch pedal down with your finger it was so smooth. This job was complemented by a new clutch cable and helper spring.
