Clutch bushing

[Mystic3]

Well, after17 years I think it's time to replace the clutch pedal bushings.
getting quite a bit of play back and forth.
There is a big selection of styles and materials.
Recommendations ???
TIA

Nylon for brake and brass for clutch. Off ebay. Garagistic has them too iirc.

Any particular reason why nylon for brake instead of brass for both clutch and brake?

Clutch travels (rotates) more than brake is what I read. I assume brass wears less? Both are self lubricating.

Either way, both of my pedals are smooth and firm, no side to side play. And no noise.

More details/exp with AKG who has has delrin for brake and brass for clutch:

I'd opt for AKG over Garagistic. Too many quality and fitment stories with the latter.

Mason also makes a clutch pedal (at the bottom of the page): https://www.masonengineering.net/pro...php?bmw_id=e46

Looks like brass is my guy. Any fitment issues ?

Bumping this to hopefully understand more about 1) how much play is acceptable and 2) any DIY info. I have what I think is "too much" play, so I pulled the lower trim and looked up "there" thinking "ah, just replace bushings". Looks like a job done upside down and contorting into all sorts of physical conditions that I really don't want to do unless necessary. This all started with a squeak pressing the clutch, and then feeling the pedal...you know, rabbit hole, find stuff that isn't wrong type stuff... I don't want to get into brass and custom fitting stuff, I'm fine with replacing stock.

I replaced my clutch pedal bushing with the nylon OEM parts and it noticeably reduced the side-to-side slop.

Pull the driver's seat. Makes access somewhat better.

I purchased the AKG bushings for both the clutch and brake pedal. I will be installing them when I swap my gray interior to black since I'll be in the area anyway. I also picked up a set of their pedals to install as well, great quality stuff from AKG.

Is the clutch pedal itself a wear point in the area of the bushing and bracket pins? I'd think not, but, still researching this one.
