Clutch Linkage VENDORS?
Does anyone sell clutch linkage with Spherical ends? I did find something but it appears the upper rod that they have is straight (2nd pic from Brothers). I need one that is curved as in the 1st pic. I've thought about trying to modify an old upper rod but if anyone has already done it that would be a lot better than my trial and error.

Re: Clutch Linkage VENDORS?
The upper clutch rod with the dog leg is for the V8. The L6 rod is straighter. LMC is selling a copy of the L6 one as a universal fit, but it's not right.
I got the proper V8 unit from Classic Parts [formerly Chevy Duty] for about $30 bucks.

Re: Clutch Linkage VENDORS?
OK but what I really want to do is replace all the rods with something that has spherical ends. I can figure out a way to modify one myself but the Brothers thing seems close to what I'm after. I'm just tired of all the slop in the linkage and know there is a better way to do it. Weekend is over so it's time for me to get on the phone.

Re: Clutch Linkage VENDORS?
I bought the pieces from brothers. The piece that bolts to the pedal needed shimed but works good. The other piece actually was short. I just added some to the length. Never have put it on yet. Mine has a v8 and is 4 wheel drive. Does seem to work alot better. Worth the money.

Re: Clutch Linkage VENDORS?
John at Brothers gave me some good info that I'm working on now. If it pans out I'll let everyone know. It sure seems like the way to go and the price for the upgrade appears reasonable at this point.
