I recently went through this on my 87. The clevis yoke and clevis pin
are available at the VW dealer for not much money. On mine, the clevis
yoke was fine but the pin was half worn through. The worn pin also
ovaled out the hole in the clutch pedal/lever. The lever is made too
thin IMO, so the pin rides on less surface area than it should. Without
periodic lubrication the pin wears down and damages the hole in the
lever as well. Don't worry much about the yoke, it is hardened steel
with much more surface area. Mine had no wear while the pin and lever
were junk.
