Last year, I repaired mine. Here's what 230k mi on original clutch pedal/clevis pin looks like (like others said, yoke was fine): http://vogls.com/james/vanagon/clutchPedalRepair/
With List guidance I: Replaced pin w/ slightly larger one from hardware store. Had muffler shop around the corner fill in the clutch pedal hole w/ weld... Gave em 5 bucks. Re-drilled, clutch pedal hole. Inserted a bushing (with internal diameter matching new pin) into clutch pedal hole. JB'd it in place. Gobbed all w/ grease.
It was a fairly big job, involving dash removal (fixed some other stuff while in there). The repair has worked well so far, but I'm wondering how to relube...
