So I was driving the truck down the road and all of a sudden i Couldn't change gears. Turns out i bent the pushrod. My setup is a t5, stock ford ranger clutch master cylinder and a 280z slave cylinder with braded clutch line. It was really stiff before. When you push the clutch in it pushes out on the firewall just a little. any suggestions would be great thanks.

Update on what happened:
I have a bracket mounted on my bell housing with the slave cylinder mounted on it, i also have a BIG piece of a allthread as my slave pushrod, that is bolted to the clutch fork. What happened is the clutch fork has a wide hole where its bolted, away from the bell housing and towards the bell housing if that makes sense. I left my "custom" pushrod a little lengthy for adjustment reasons so what happened is, the nuts holding the slave pushrod in place on the fork came loose then the slave rod moved in torwards the bellhousing, now if you know what a t5 bellhousing looks like, there is an opening and the rod hit the ledge of the opening making it so nothing could move at all and i guess the weakest thing being the master cylinder pushrod gave out and bent.
