where am I going wrong?

I win! One screw and two big pry bars, lots of energy after eating dinner and some anger adrenaline I even slightly bent the clutch pedal but I was able to straighten it back, the pedal now returns properly and clutch works I just need an inch more length on the adjust rod that goes onto the clutch fork so I think I will just take that to the welding shop that is around the corner from my work tomorrow and get them to weld an inch in, then DONE! Thanks for all the help guys.
