Clutch push rod question ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
One end of my clutch pushrod is corroded quite badly on the outer surface does this matter or must I replace it?
If its okay to use what is the best way to protect it from becoming worse?

Sesman:
Are they expensive Ted?
Could you clean it up then heat treat it to case harden. I wonder if hard chroming is possible?
Nurse Julie:
You can clean the rust off Ted with no problem. The problem area is where the seal sits on the chrome part, any wear or scoring causes a leak.

DS show no longer available plus they are I believe made from three parts with the centre section being a tube.

The corrosion has just started to creep into the last but one section so getting closer to the seal area I guess.
