Transmission Woes

[geezer#99]

I think he has that. He found it under the truck.

It appears someone used the wrong length throw out bearing and had to weld a higher mount to get the clutch to adjust. That’s the bad info as the trans needs to come out to fix the fork and maybe replace the tob.
Short term cure would be make a new clutch rod that’s longer that will help with adjustment and stay togethor until he’s ready to spend the money to fix it right.

Geez I missed that part . I would get a coupling nut and a short pc of threaded rod for the other end and extend the factory rod. It would require taking a lot of the adjustment back out of this end. Local hardware store should have that stuff cheap. Make sure the spring gets put back on to keep it together.

When you say "weld a higher mount" I'm not sure I'm following where you think that modification happened. I want to keep my eye out for it.

Attached is another picture of the fork.

This community is great. I really appreciate the feedback.

Looks like someone modded the end of the fork.
Should look more like the end on this one.

Keep that link somewhere. You might need a new fork in the future.
