The original is a spiral pin. The Weltmeister replacement is a split pin. That's why it fails after a relatively short period of use.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Clean up and examine where the arm coming from the clutch pedal attaches to the shaft that goes through the pedal cluster. I still think there's a good chance the roll-pin through there has failed, allowing the arm to rotate on the shaft rather than being locked to it.

It would be easier to inspect with the pedal cluster out of the car, but you should still be able to get a half-decent look at it in place.

they also break loose when the clutch fork bottoms out on the exit hole in teh trans. it is a system and should be restored . band-aids mentioned above will get you down the road for a while. after you fix the tube, check fork exit travel

if it "popped" all 3 attachment points must be repaired

thanks for the post guys!! i just picked up a late 1972 that "only" Needed a new engine well after i got that done and installed it will not go into any gear and the clutch doesn't work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) turns out mine is busted in the front and the middle =[ because its busted at both points the tube straightened out form the rear to the petals and now runs right in the middle of the shiftier hole, so my shiftier is hitting it not letting that move freely.. but with Jeff's photo at lease now i know were the to repair it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You nailed it Dave. That pedal is askew if you look at the other end in relation to the brake pedal. We need an Inspector Clouseau avatar.

It looks like your fuel lines are still the plastic ones in the tunnel? Now that is something I would get replaced immediately with stainless steel lines.

Sorry to say but that's just a stereo-type response,has little to do with the OP's clutch problem.
