Assuming you didn't have any problems with proper clutch operation before the "fork" (yolk) broke (sunny side up please ;) You need only obtain another yolk from a salvage yard junker. It's a piece of cake (think i'm hungry) to RR. It comes off using circlip/snap ring pliers...just pull the little boot towards you to reveal the snap ring. There's one catch however...once you've removed the snap ring, the spring loaded piston assembly might shoot out. I've never had this happen though...you've usually got to pursuade it with several good pokes. Anyway, if the works come shooting out they go back in just as easily (new seals are less than $10 - good to have on hand)...but you'll have to bleed the clutch - which doesn't fall under 'easy'. If you're game, remove, or at least have a real good look at, yours before heading to the salvage yard...you'll be better prepared in the event you have to 'work by feel' due to some ungodly slop on the floor of the junker you may not wish to lay in. Once you've got the replacement yolk you will be best served by drilling both it & the pedal out to 3/8" then use a bolt in place of the clevis pin. Have fun!
