This is called the “push lever.” The one that came with my MDL kit had a bad spherical bearing that was causing binding. The clutch pedal wouldn’t return to it’s resting position. I spoke with MDL and they had me isolate the push lever and it was still binding so we knew one of the two bearings were bad. I don’t remember which bearing was bad but it was easy to tell that one of the two was not articulating properly. I sent the lever back to MDL and they sent me a replacement. All was good!
