When you say bent.....how bent?
The clutch pedal rod from the pedal to the Z Bar does have a bend half way down it from the factory - it gives the clearance required when the pedal is depressed. Do not straighten the rod, without post a pic here first or checking against another one.

If the rod is binding, you may have it around the wrong way - or end to end incorrect.

maybe its not bent at all,given what kiwi said about it having a natural bend in the middle,its work fine,no binding. i was thinking it should be straight,learn something new every day.

Not the best picture to demonstrate....but you can just make out the bend below the halfway mark at the top of the flash reflection...

thank you,do you know if the clip that holds to clutch pedal slides on with both sides of clip or do i just take one side of the clip and slide on pin,someone had removed the clip and tied with heavy wire. thanks

clip goes on completely - both sides of the clip

do you know if the clip that holds to clutch pedal slides on with both sides of clip

The clip goes on the outside of the rod, and compresses between the flange of the rod and the rod end - much like a spring clip - that prevents it falling off due to the shape of the slots. remember - the 'rolled edge' is on the outside, so the the clip sits flat when installed.
