    Hi all, I've seen lots of threads about sqeaky or sticky clutch pedals. Mine is bouncing. Basically when I go over bumps or uneven roads, the pedal is bouncing up and down and making a rattling noise. Can I adjust it so it doesn't bounce and rattle when I go over bumps? The truck is super solid aside from that so it would be sweet if I could get rid of the one minor annoyance. Also it might indicate the clutch pedal is out of adjustment or ready to fall off for all I know (read: not much).

    The clutch assembly is about half an inch to an inch away from being bolted down tight, haha. It took a headlight to see the problem, but it is a big-ish bolt that's way loose. About to go fix it!

    Just got done fixing it and test driving it. Clutch pedal is nice and tight now, feels worlds better. Fix was a total success! Also managed to fix the floppy hood by twisting some rubber pieces. Two easy fixes! Thanks for the tips.
