Subject:Re: What's This Part? 251 721 111 b continued clutch bracket

The clunk felt in the clutch pedal is probably not caused by the pivot
bushing but by wear in the hole where the slave cylinder rod attaches to
the clutch pedal arm. This hole can get very elongated, even to the
point where it wears all the way through. The pin that attaches the rod
to the hole in the arm also wears at the same time, increasing the play.
This problem seems much more common on Syncros but can also happen to
2wd. The pin is cheap to buy new, the arm can be repaired or replaced.
