Re: CY7 Clutch Linkage
I have used all thread to build part of a CJ clutch linkage for a
Mustang T5 and it threaded right on to the parts including the jam nut.

Re: CY7 Clutch Linkage
The fine thread that I found was the same as the adjuster, so it all screwed
together like it was engineered that way.

Amen, brother. I have never been more disappointed with any business,
ever, than with Tellico 4X4. They have the sorriest customer service
I've ever had the displeasure to deal with. They do not stand behind
defective products they sell. In my case, they advertised falsely,
sending me a different brand product, then would not take it back or
make it right when I discovered it was defective, saying it was
advertised as a "factory second". I sent them the very e-mailed ad
they sent me proving them liars about the brand and the "free
shipping" that cost me $32 and the factory second status. None of that
was true.
1)False advertising - brand of product and shipping cost.
2)Defective product they wouldn't take back or make right.
3)Lied about it. It was not advertised as a factory second.
4)Customer service did respond to my e-mails but obviously didn't care
about their reputation or my customer satisfaction.
I wouldn't buy from them again if they were the only supplier of what
I needed. I'd do without. The OP needs to find another supplier if he
decides to buy the clutch linkage, just in case there's a problem with
it. Any decent business wants satisfied customers to come again and
------ the good word.

1)False advertising - brand of product and shipping cost.
2)Defective product they wouldn't take back or make right.
3)Lied about it. It was not advertised as a factory second.
4)Customer service did respond to my e-mails but obviously didn't care
about their reputation or my customer satisfaction.
I wouldn't buy from them again if they were the only supplier of what
I needed. I'd do without. The OP needs to find another supplier if he
decides to buy the clutch linkage, just in case there's a problem with
it. Any decent business wants satisfied customers to come again and
------ the good word.

Amen, brother. I have never been more disappointed with any business,
ever, than with Tellico 4X4. They have the sorriest customer service
I've ever had the displeasure to deal with. They do not stand behind
defective products they sell. In my case, they advertised falsely,
sending me a different brand product, then would not take it back or
make it right when I discovered it was defective, saying it was
advertised as a "factory second". I sent them the very e-mailed ad
they sent me proving them liars about the brand and the "free
shipping" that cost me $32 and the factory second status. None of that
was true.
