Re: Why does my clutch linkage keep breaking?

Thanks for the advice, Z bar and motor mounts are still ok, sounds like burnin oil hit the nail on the head. But what causes it to over travel? The clutch and throw out bearing seem to be fine.

It's either one or the other. Something is moving and something is not which causes failure at this point. You might chock up both axles in front and behind and try to move forward in 3rd gear while someone (in law or other) is underneath watching of course in a position not to be run over. A lot of times something will look fine (perfect) sitting still, until a heavy load is placed on it. You should see what is allowing the movement.
