Um, if your cab is moving when the clutch pedal is pressed, you have bigger isues than a linkage. That piece is not what should be holding your cab to the frame.
If your cab is moving that much and that easily, you have some serious structural issues with your mounts. Until the cab is securely fastend to the frame again, the entire geometry of your clutch linkages will be constantly variable, and impossible to troubleshoot.
I have no idea what this means -- "I'm just trying to get Otto depress the pressure plate"???
Ordinarily, bad cab mounts don't present much of a problem.. But when they're so rusty and deteriorated so badly that the cab moves around.. If the cab moves with clutch pedal depression, it "kills" some of the linkage's ability to release the clutch.. Fix the cab mounts and I'll bet your clutch issue disappears...
If you'll permit me to use an analogy.. Suppose a truck has a broken motor mount.. Every time the truck accelerates, the engine "rears up" and the fan tears up the shroud.. A smaller diameter fan is not the solution.. Replace the motor mount and the fan no longer tears up the shroud...
I tried pointing that out earlier in the thread, I don't think it made a difference.
