You could use WD-40, but it won't last long. I'd recommend lithium grease . . . lasts longer. ;-)

The plastic bushing between the clutch spring and the pedal arm is deteriorated. You can replace it with a new part or a fabbed plastic part. I did this last night. Worked great. I used a bic pen housing for the plastic. Lubed it up with a little good ol' petroleum jelly.

Clutch pedal spring meets the pedal arm. Metal to metal contact after the plastic bushing is gone.

i noticed that my clutch pedal dropped a little. i don't have to push it in as much as i used to. it still works perfect just wondering if i could have a leak somewhere or perhaps i have to ad more fluid. how would i go about doing that?
