Do anybody know if the clutch handle bushing is pressed in or tapped in.

Re:clutch handle bushing 6 Years, 3 Months ago  
should come out by just pushing it. Unless it got corroded in place that mine did. I finally got it out, took some doing. This is about my 3rd or 4th one. this was the only one that gave me issues.
That looks pretty wore out. could have also deformed the bushing so it's pushing out and stuck. It does have a tight tolerance to start with. I kind of made my own press with a c-clamp and a long socket head so to be able to push thru, and something narrow enough to push it.

Little things. Often invaluable bits of knowledge. Thanks Erbman.

Most will just drop out if you aren't careful. You could tap it out with a rod the same diameter.

Dealer, they are only about 3, 4 bucks. They are made of brass, and they will wear out.
