I keep breaking the bushing closest to the tranny on my clutch linkage

, does anybody know what could be causing this?? I've heard motor mounts might cause this but my motor mounts seem to look fine to me.
Thanks for the help

the body mount bushings seem fine to me they dont look worn out or anything. I can take pictures but i dont know how to post them. I've already replaced the bellcrank bushing 3 times and im afraid next time it might happen on the freeway or something like that. I just ordered a brand new clutch linkage kit hoping that would cure the problem

The bushing is breaking because it is moving in a way it was not designed to.

I would personally check:
1) Motor mounts
2) tranny mount
3) torque arm bushing

in that order, it sounds like you have too much flex between the body and the driveline and it's causing the linkage to bind/break.
