there is problems with mechanical clutch linkages on trails too. I switched mine to hydraulic becuse on I keep having the push rod fall out of its dimple on the shift fork and on one of the trail rides I ended up all twisted up and could not shift out of second and ended up breaking a shift fork but since I went with the hydraulic I have had no problems at all. (had to go during the 302 convertion there was no room for the linkage)

LOL

you have my slightly less positive comments on it, I\'ll post a pchop here if I ever get a chance to finish catching up on forums and work on it.....  good progress in any case - and I think you managed to get it further down around the frame rail than the General ever bothered to so good job on that :)
