As in pedal feels weird & difficult to adjust pedal height?
Gotten underneath to see if it's working properly when someone pushes clutch pedal?

Most have broken spring on top of clutch pedal...makes it feel like can never adjust properly or get a good pedal feel.

Other than that can only think of ball inside bellhousing that clutch fork pushes off

Does clutch actually work?
Did you adjust pedal height to factory spec?

Probably broken spring...with cable off pedal is meant to hit floor.

When they're busted pedal is very soft & can't adjust pedal height properly...can lift pedal with foot.

$25 from holden
