kev Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah, you can do that. Here is another alternative: I bought a teflon lined brass/steel sleeve bearing from McMaster-Carr, P/N 6679K14. It is for a 10MM shaft (oem). I bored out the hole in the clutch pedal 15/32" which provided a light press fit of the bearing into the pedal. Then I used a file to grind down the bearing smooth on both sides of the clutch pedal. Since we are talking about clutches, I figured I'd upload some more photos. I took a part the original slave clevis: That rubber 'cushion' can easily be replaced by four steel 12MM washers Now, removing the new clevis from my new clutch master cylinder and replacing the rubber grommet with the steel washers; New modified clevis combined with a brand new Mitsubishi pin Test fit on pedal....zero slop Removing that 'cushioner' from a new slave cylinder. Rebuilt parts coupled with a SST clutch hard line and braided line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 what exactly is the point of the cushioner? is there a difference in the feel or clutch performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's an orifice. It'll delay the hydraulic operation of the slave cylinder. Not sure why it was there in the first place. Kind of like a 'soft start'???? I simply took Indiana's suggestion and eliminated it. Cannot comment on the performance difference because I haven't driven this car yet, haha. kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyWadd Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 A urethane pivot bushing would be nice. I wonder if there is already one in production? Would need to be 20mm o.d. and 14mm i.d.I searched around ebay and asked sellers for dimensions and this one is close 8-1104 Civic 84-87 14MM Rear Sway Bar Bushing Kit Prothane 14mm i.d. and 25mm o.d. and flanged too.

JohnnyWadd Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I got my mc master carr bushing. No go. Its too small. Turns out the hole in my clutcht was at 13.5 mm or about .53". I measured wrong.http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/clutch%20pedal/th_2013-02-12213353.jpg But i did find a bearing perfect for the main pivothttp://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/clutch%20pedal/th_C360_2013-02-13-21-36-43.jpghttp://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/clutch%20pedal/th_C360_2013-02-13-21-37-48.jpg It gonna need the inside of the clutch pedal to be slighyl sanded or maybe just the black paint removed, then it will be a tight fit. This bearing also has a flanged version. Next up i will show you how to eliminate that cushion thing without washers Edited February 14, 2013 by JohnnyWadd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to bore the hole larger to press it in. I'm curious as to your cushion mod...try to retain the feature of the the threaded insert being allowed to spin within the clevis. It makes final adjustment of the clutch much easier. That's why I like simple washer approach...it retains the original features but just gets rid of the 'squishy' rubber.

JohnnyWadd Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 oh ya it will be just like that. the mc master bushing would have worked but the hole in my pedal was too large. I measured it wrong. its a spare pedal so hopefully the one in my car is not hogged out too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyWadd Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Here is all you need to eliminate the cushion and fix both pivots for less than $30.00 total with all new Mitsu parts (clutch clevis hole should be worn less that 15/32")http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/clutch%20pedal/th_2013-02-19191215.jpg First Thanks kev for the heads up on the mcmaster-carr fix bushing p/n 6679k1n $3.12Next you the new clevis pin MF473490 $1.14 at www.mitsubishiparts.netThen for the main pivot you need the bushings x2 MB058634 $3.44 for both, and spacer MB151139 $3.67 at ww.mitsubishiparts.netFinally get yourself a Nissan p/n 30631-3s501 for $10.00 from the dealer or similarly priced online. You want the one will the last four numbers 3s501. That will let you ditch the cushion without filling it with washers. Installed pics to come when i get the actuall nissan pushrod peice in hand.
