It might have been a post by me.  I had a rivet from the PP come adrift at
at 95K miles.  I replaced the clutch cable and clutch before I finally
found the darn thing.  It would intermittently lodge in the PP springs
and make it impossible to engage the gears.  After some period of time it
would release.  I got so frustrated with it when it would do this that I
pushed on the gearshift handle so hard that it sheared off a nearly circular
bit of the syncho which was laying there when it finally came apart.  I
decided not to worry about about the PP, the metal shaving or the rivet
and it's held up just fine for almost 50K miles now.  Knock on wood.
