Well I finished installing the Trans and drive lines today. Them old Clark 5 speeds are heavy to muscle around.

So now I have a new 11.5 clutch, new PTO U-joints, Drive Line U-joint and carrier bearing.

While the trans was out I re-bushed the clutch lever arm and brake arm. And re-shimmed the clutch/brake shaft. Added rubber stops for levers, floor seals for pedals, rubber foot pads, replaced a lot of bolts with grade 8 bolts and nuts

Someone had previously really screwed up the clutch linkage, trying to make the wrong release bearing work, rather than replace it with the correct bearing.

By the way the new clutch works great, my preliminary clutch adjustments were right on the money.

Practice makes perfect, I suppose wink

Now next comes the exhaust and wiring.

Thanks all,
