I too had to make a longer push rod. I think it was because I used a slave cylinder from a 90 (with stepped flywheel) when I converted my 88 (with flat flywheel) to a stick. At least that's the only reason I could figure out why the original was too short.

I am familiar with the internally swollen brake hoses. This was a common problem on 140s

CarQuest was able to get rebuild kits for both clutch cylinders. The one for the master was correct, the one for the slave had the wrong internal seal--it was the correct diameter but wasn't wide enough to fill the slot in the piston. I ended up reusing the old one, which seems to work OK. The outer boot was the right one, and was the main thing I needed, as the old one was badly cracked.
