Title: Clutch Cross Shaft
Post by: Kirkski on September 11, 2015, 04:29:17 PM

Anyone here rebuilt the Clutch Cross Shaft? One side of mine I can compress in and out, but the other is rock hard..

Any lessons learned would be helpful

Thanks in Advance
Kirk

The end toward the transmission is spring loaded.
If the tube ends for the pivot ball studs are not worn; it is easily rebuild able.

Measure the distance from the tube to the CL of each lever pivot hole.
Weld the holes shut with mild steel.
Grind smooth.
Re-drill the holes to 5/16" diameter.
