So as we all know the stock clutch pedal is loose and creaky. There are two plastic bushings that cover a inner steel bushing on the pivot point of the pedal. Those plastic bushings wear out very fast and when you press the pedal it moves about 1/4"-1/2" side to side. I have been also plagued by the pedal feel not being very smooth and it's "sticky" in spots. So I decided to tear into it and do my own modified pivot point. I used a dremel and opened up each end of the pedal to be able to hold a bearing on both sides. I then used plastic welding to weld the new ball bearings into place. Put it back in the truck with locktite on the threads and snugged it down but not too tight as to bind. And I will say now the pedal feels like it should of when I bought the truck 10yrs ago. So far it's held up to clutch kicks and is so smooth it's ridiculous.
