Beware of this after market part...

I purchased this updated clutch linkage from LMC. This morning, the bottom threaded rod that bolts to the clutch fork snapped in two. The clutch pedal went to the floor and I had to pop start it to limp it back home.
I will be putting the original clutch rod back in now.

I would avoid LMC! They handle mostly cheap made aftermarket items. Your item is a perfect example. They have good prices and that is why people buy from them but you get what you pay for:waah:

You would think $100 for two little rods with heim joints would be decent part. Granted, the clutch is pretty stiff, Centerforce Stage 2, but this shouldn't have happened.

WOW! What a major safety issue. Thank you for the heads up. Items like this should be over built/engineered. Bruce

LMC only sells crap made in China. Not worth your time to type the order much less the money they will charge you for it!

I've yet to purchase anything from LMC. They may be cheaper on certain parts but their shipping charges are outrageous!

Agreed LMC sucks. Every single part and piece I bought for our restoration has now been switched out. All junk.

Why upgrade a good design?
