Re: MB Clutch rod 9 1/4"?
I had 9 1/8" but I suppose overall length vs center-to-center length accounts for that. GPW with all original linkage, etc. intact. The length of the clutch CABLE is also part of this as is the clutch TUBE.

Re: MB Clutch rod 9 1/4"?
Fernando....that long one is incorrect! It may be due to a Bubba fix (note the weld in the middle) to accommodate something else that wasn't correct in the linkage system. The Clutch Tube (wrong ear location) comes to mind here and probably more likely, the wrong Clutch Cable length.
However I am unfamiliar with the bellhousing you are using and if you are replacing it with an original MB/GPW one that would tell you more about what is wrong here....

That rod is easily made from 1/4" round stock, if you have access to a gas torch. Heat the desired bend points until they are red hot - the rod will then bend easily.

If you buy your parts from the guy who is paying for you to use this great site (G503) (Ron Fitzpatrick) and get to ask questions for free, then you will receive the correct, high quality parts. When you buy from other vendors, you get what you get.
It always amazes me when guys buy parts from other places and then come here and complain about them.

Re: MB Clutch rod 9 1/4"?
I am aware that repop "V" tubes were sold with the "ears" welded on at the wrong places.
Fabrizio...install the rod but leave out the cable for a moment...look at the photo and then your set up. Note the position of the ears on both tubes.

Re: MB Clutch rod 9 1/4"?
In mine case:
*Tube "V" is correct(two ears disaligned of 180 degrees)
Tube "AG" is incorrect ,because the ear is almost parallel to the clutch pedal or it is advanced to the front.I will have to put it 1 1/8" to the rear. Thanks guys.Regards.

Re: MB Clutch rod 9 1/4"?
I suspect that part “F” the woodruff key might be missing and that is what allowed for the AG tube flange to be in the wrong position.....assuming that AG has the flange welded in the correct orientation. Thanks.

Re: MB Clutch rod 9 1/4"?
When woodruff key is missing who brings "AG" tube(ear) for the front?
