Re: Looks like I found part or all of my Clutch problem
On all the ones I have seen, that top hole is a hole. It takes a bolt
and nut.
I just had to get a clutch setup for a gent. The whole linkage kit was
$120.00 I think. It came with all the parts, but I could have bought
the pieces individually.

Re: Looks like I found part or all of my Clutch problem
Not that I'm shilling for them or anything, but 4WD lists that kit for
about $75US. Is the difference between that and your price in the US >>
