PEDAL TO Z BAR ROD

Sorry- don’t mean to wake a sleeping dog.

My 72 Demon all the sudden started to not return the clutch pedal all the way. If I tap the pedal it clicks (spring sound in back ground) and it snaps back into normal spot.
I crawled under the dash and saw my rod at the pedal side (goes down to the z bar) is got a lot of play - never before… sitting for last 2 years. So this is néw.
Brewers I guess is only solution or take off and weld up and try to grind. Going to take apart this weekend. I mean it’s 50+ years old…. Warranty? Lol.
