74 911S Pedal Assembly Roll Pin(s)

[ScottVandy]

Driving around town the other night I experienced a noticeable "pop" when I depressed the clutch pedal and it fell to the floor. Was highly confident it was clutch cable that had snapped, as rear trunion pulled out a few inches. Took old cable out back at home and realized it hadn't broken after all. Upon further inspection, found that the clutch pedal itself is able to rotate on its shaft so that at full depression, that clutch arm at the end of the pedal assembly doesn't adequately pull the clutch cable for disengagement.

There is a helpful article on PelicanParts (http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles%5CMult_pedal_cluster%5CMult_pedal_cluster.htm), in which a reader described (toward the bottom) a related problem that was ultimately solved by replacing the roll pins on the pedal assembly. Apparently this is a tough job.

Anyone have any experience removing and replacing these pins? Or, alternatively, any other failures within the pedal assembly that could be causing the above-described situation?

Thanks much.

It's a straight forward job with the hardest part being fighting the years of rust trying to get the pedal assembly out of the car. No tricks that I know of just make sure you don't twist the throttle and clutch cables together during the install.

or the fork in the bell housing breaks. get under the car and see if the linkage coming out of the bottom of the bell housing (where the cabke connects to) turns, if it does it is broken inside.

the engine and trans need to come out to replace
