Clutch Master Cylinder Pushrod: reasons for snapping in half

Gunsnbacon saw a crack that I didn't. You were right, my pedal bracket does have a crack, right where the master bolts onto it. Seen this on an older Toyota pickup not too long ago. It was all rusted though. Looks like this is an E30 weak point. So I'll weld it and reinforce it. Funny thing is it just started leaking today. Out of the inlet. Brand new master, brand new inlet connector. I wonder what's up with that. Just gonna have to try another new connector & hose and see what happens.

Do you have a clutch stop? Client's race car was constantly breaking the masters and they would have to finish the endurance races w/o the clutch. He finally brought the car by to see why. Turned out he had removed the clutch stop which was allowing the master to hyper extend. Stuck a 10mm x 1.5 bolt in the clutch stop hole and screwed it in until just past clutch release point, never broke another.

I'm gonna go ahead and put my clutch stop back in then, can't hurt. Also found out my leaking is because I spliced 2 sections of clutch hose together, not a tight enough connection where they meet. Going with new hose, new connector, new pedal bracket that I'm about to reinforce. Going to reinforce my old one too, maybe sell it.

Sorry I don't get on here much. Anyway it went well. Having a variety of tools helps. Are you talking about replacing the clutch master cylinder? I did not have to drop the rack to do that. I do remember using an 11mm crowfoot/extension/ratchet to loosen/tighten the flare nut on the outlet of it. Too tight a space for a flare nut wrench.
