Marty, I am somewhat new to the hobby and I had my engine and transmission rebuilt last winter and as far as I knew my car was pretty well sorted. Never expected it would break. I am going to look for a way to patch it up in the field so I can limp it home to make a complete fix.There has been some good suggestions in these posts, I am looking to see if I can find a split collar or some kind of clamp on “widget” that will keep me from messing with the pin on the side of the road.
Paul, thanks for the tip. I will look at the arm at Mike’s. That style also have the benefit of a slightly longer throw which lowers the muscle needed to push in the clutch.
