I keep breaking these little round retaining clips that hold the hydraulic push rod for the clutch to the clutch arm. Such a PITA. This little plastic clip costs like 5.85 at the dealership and is worth about .05.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution to improve the connection. I got back under there and looked at it without much in the way of good ides. Maybe a couple of grooves and a c-ring, but I would have to pull the pedal arm out and grind the grooves in there.
I can't be the only one that this is happening to. I have replaced 5 of these in 1.5 yrs. Its kind of dangerous driving then looking down and seeing your clutch pedal on the floor. Just have to synchro shift into nuetral and find a place to open door fully to reattach. Of course the first time it happened I froze and ended up on an off ramp doing the herky jerky until the engine died. I couldn't get it into nuetral.
