Clutch Problems... Push rod with leaking Master Cylinder

So... I have been having the same problems as everyone else so I decided to see if I can adjust the clutch pedal. I took it all apart and I come to find that the push rod that connects the clutch pedal to the master cylinder is bent and now my master cylinder is leaking... Now im thinking of buying the Clutch Pedal w/ Aluminum Pad from Mazdatrix and a Master Cylinder rebuild kit from Rock Auto... Does anyone know if the pedal from Mazdatrix come with the Pushrod?

I would be surprised if it didn't come with it.
Their website's home page has their number... I would call if you want clarification.

If you were able to find a rebuilt kit for this master cylinder... sure.
If not and you wanted to play this on the "cheap side", go to the local salvage yard and get a MC there.

I like it... piece of mind knowing I have a "heavy duty" bearing.
I replaced my flywheel and clutch, so it only made sense to upgrade that while the transmission was dropped.
I got mine from BHR who is a great forum vendor here.
