I am in the process of removing my clutch. I took the clutch arm pivot pin out and noticed that it is worn quite badly on one side .

How does this effect the clutch operation?

Every little bit adds to any problem you may have with your clutch. I too am about to replace it as I have a nice groove worn in the clevis pin. Going to chaeck out Classic Motoring to see if they have any lying about.

Hooroo

I went out and picked up a new one this morning from Mini Spares in Seven Hills. $4.95.

Mine is all back in....pedal feels better with new pin. Probably because there is no slack now.
