[6pack] Clutch push rod?

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

Tom---Since one end of the rod joins the clevis pin, and the other end has a ball socket, there should be no alignment issues with either orientation during assembly.  The straightest line is what we want, to avoid side loading of the SC piston. (Another reason for using the center hole in the clutch shaft actuating shaft)

Hello Gents,

The clutch push rod I got from TRF (stock type, solid and non-adjustable) has a slight angle where the "fork" meets the solid bar. The bar is "straight" longitudinally, but there's a bit of vertical angle. I looked at two cruddy old ones and found this seems to be an original feature.

>From the funny angle I'm working at, I cannot see why one orientation would be more advantageous than the other. Perhaps it's to prevent fouling something at full lever extension? 

Is this just a production variation, or is there an "up" and "down" side?

Thanks, Tom
