mikeatrpi Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 My clutch pedal clicks. Its definitely coming from under the dash or firewall area. I suppose it could also be the master cylinder, though It happens both when I push the clutch in and let it up. I recently found some bits of amber or orange plastic on the floorboard. Perhaps these things are related? I'd appreciate any advice you guys have... I need to stay upright for a bit now, too much time spent upside down with my head in the footwell!

NewZed Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The clevis pin for the pedal to MC rod connection can get a notch worn in it. This will click. I had the problem and anew pin fixed it. They were still available from Nissan a couple of years ago. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/brake/brake-clutch-pedal 8 73 and later - http://www.courtesyparts.com/oe-nissan/46123h850a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 That orange plastic you describe sounds like the brake light plastic switch stop. Are you're brake lights stuck on now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, been there done that. Nice surprise coming out of work with 0V on my battery. I'm sure it was good for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeatrpi Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Brake lights seem OK. But I'll check it out, thanks! And I'll order a new clevis pin (or see if my local dealer can get it). I appreciate the help, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
