A guy brought in a 73 COUGAR 351CJ with inoperable clutch. Looked under the dash and the support bracket had failed. It has non-serviceable press-in bushings. Had a machinist replace the bearings with roller bearings and replace all linkage bushings -

On Ill -

7551- Pedal Bushings
7517 - Bushings on Equalizer
7523 - Retracting Spring - Notice it also has an adjustment.

You need to go though the entire system. Remove driver's seat ...

Your '55 SHOP MANUAL will describe the '57
