Drilling my Zbar??

Yet another Update:
The bushings helped to take care of some slop in the linkage but still was not getting a proper disengaging of the clutch.

Removed my drivers side rubber motor mount and replaced with a solid mount and this has completely solved any issues I was having.
Previously the clutch was actually moving the motor when pressed!

Just in case someone out there is experiencing any of the same issues and frustrations lol...
