Cj clutch linkage mouting

Bill,

I can't really see what's in the bag, but this looks a lot like the setup that Dodge used to use. Having well polished balls and keeping them greased is crucial to the life of the nylon bushings and the whole mechanism. As they taught me in the Basque Country, "lo importante es tener dos pelotas bien puestas".

If you run it across level to the bellhousing, it's bracket should line up with a couple holes there and be more or less level. It doesn't have to be perfectly level by any means, the ball sockets on either end allow for a reasonable tilt on it with full function still.

When I did mine I had some issues because my fiberglass body sits higher up from the frame 'and' the inside floor or shell sits up an inch and a half more so I could only line up one bellhousing bolt and keep it within a reasonable tilt. Mine is 'almost' at the point where I need a longer threaded adjuster rod, but that is easy enough to make if needed.

It held for almost 7 years before I managed to snap off that single bolt and I twist up my CJ7 pretty good some trips....

Thanks for the help everyone! I was thinking that's how it had to be, but wasnted to be sure. Once I get my Ford 5 liter and T18 back in the Jeep I'll have to make it work.

Thanks, Don W

I should have known if anyone would have a diagram of something, it would be Bill Hughes. What lineage is that?

Thanks, Don W
