Beware of this after market part...
I purchased this updated clutch linkage from LMC. This morning, the bottom threaded rod that bolts to the clutch fork snapped in two. The clutch pedal went to the floor and I had to pop start it to limp it back home.
I will be putting the original clutch rod back in now. |

Re: Beware of this after market part...
I would avoid LMC! They handle mostly cheap made aftermarket items. Your item is a perfect example. They have good prices and that is why people buy from them but you get what you pay for

Re: Beware of this after market part...
You would think $100 for two little rods with heim joints would be decent part. Granted, the clutch is pretty stiff, Centerforce Stage 2, but this shouldn't have happened.

Re: Beware of this after market part...
WOW! What a major safety issue. Thank you for the heads up. Items like this should be over built/engineered. Bruce

Re: Beware of this after market part...
Agreed LMC sucks. Every single part and piece I bought for our restoration has now been switched out. All junk.

Why upgrade a good design?
