clutch pushrod wear td5

woundering if anyone has had the pushrod from the clutch slave cylinder to clutch arm wear on the ball end as mine looks knackered in comparison to the picture of the one on ebay , mine seems to have a small tit on the end ( no not me holding it ) this might explain the difficulty getting gears after the clutch change if the rod is slightly shorter not allowing the clutch to fully disengage

Could be worse the 'clutch specialist' who fitted a new clutch, fitted the rod the wrong way round

some do just replace it,more likely old clutch diaphragm was warped a bit (uneven spring wear)which lets clutch plate drag

just had a look at your clutch specialist work ,never seen that before
