I need an adjustable clutch rod for a Superformance. I just found (by a nasty
oil leak and no clutch) that the guy that did my installation in Reno 3 years ago used a damn mild steel threaded rod you might find at Home Depot...and, used 2 3/4 inch nuts to space the master cylinder away from the bracket..AND, used 4 nuts as spacers on the steel rod to space where the rod goes through the fork....Christ!.
I can't believe that anyone would use a cheep a$$ threaded rod. Not only did it break...it was bent on the end that goes into the master cyl. It was covered by the boot so you couldn't see the whole rod except where went through the fork. I had to make an adjustment twice in 4000 miles and couldn't tell it was a crappy threaded rod until I removed it.
When I made the adjustment I made a spacer and removed all the nuts he had used as spacers but didn't realize what he had used as a clutch rod until I removed the entire master cyl. to see if the seal was damaged when the rod broke.
If you have a Superformance...and it was done in Reno, get it changed out. It just broke yesterday when I was getting ready to go for a drive. Thank God it broke in the garage before I left.
Anyone know what they are using for a clutch rod? I'm not sure where to get one that is the correct size for a Superformance?
Also...there is no return spring....is that unusual on a superformance? It hasn't been an issue, but I just realized it isn't there. Tom
