I replaced the brass bushings on the clutch pedal mount in the frame, cleaned up the lower clutch pedal arm, lubed and reinserted, but it seems to stick/have resistance rather than turning freely, so much so that the spring does not return the pedal correctly.

Has anyone had a similar issue - any suggestions?

You need to hone the bushings out a little. If the clutch pressure returns the pedal but the return spring does not return it rest of the way, I would drive it awhile that way & it will wear in. Pull it up with your foot after you go through the gears.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
