I just purchased an 06 6-speed TJ and had the clutch pedal go limp on my way home. Was able to Jimmy rig it to get home and found that it just needed a $4 bushing to reattach the pedal. Was on my way to work a couple weeks later and had it happen again. This time it didn’t break the bushing, just seemed like it slipped out. Reattached it and went on my way only to have it happen two more times before I gave up and limped it home to get my truck. I’m wondering if anyone has had any luck finding a more reliable/permanent fix that’s a little more sturdy than a plastic bushing???
Clutch Pedal Bushing Keeps Breaking Off

Which bushing are you using? I've never had that issue on any of my Jeeps.
I keep one of the bushings from the “Help” section at the local auto parts store in my glove box. Get a new one when I swap it out. I have it down to under a minute
Okay was just stranded for the second time since buying my TJ over 2 years ago because this bushing broke. There’s got to be a better fix… anyone?
This. First time it happened I took it to a shop and paid a pretty penny for a new master and slave assembly. Happened again about a year later and found the fix on the forum, the same nylon washer and clip as in the picture, I actually need to do it again so I am glad this came back up.
I suspect either poor quality clips or the hole in the pedal arm is egged out. I have a Motorcraft one on there with my new Motorcraft clutch cylinder but it's only been a few months so too early to say how long it will last. I zip tied a spare under there because I knew if I put it in the glove box I'd never remember it was there. If it turns out to be a problem I'll switch to the nylon bushing and clip mod.
