no i just rouded it off with grinder so it sat in fork good and the other end i just took off edge so it doesnt cut into slave.you can also go to junk yard and find a longer one off another car.or buy a fatter rod and make it any shape you need,as long as you have time and tools anything is possible.

i dont know ,the rod will supply more throw,if your pressure plate is no good you need to do the clutch,, pressure plate ,,throw out bearing ,,and pilot bearing,can you do the work yourself?

You might as well try the rod. If that doesn't work, you may have to do the clutch. But the rod is worth a try...much better than dropping the tranny to SEE if it's the clutch/pressure plate...
