Re: Clutch Release Shaft Bushing tool

Mike,
When I check the third gen site today it says he has 15 on hand. Not sure if for some reason that's incorrect. Nate

Re: Clutch Release Shaft Bushing tool

I purchase one of these drivers a while back from Third Gen. Here are the dimensions of the driver as well as the bushing. Maybe you can find a driver local that would work. Hope this helps.

Re: 37 Deluxe Coupe with a 11" clutch?

Re: 37 Deluxe Coupe with a 11" clutch?

Purchased the car in 2019 and put maybe 1500 mile going to local car shows and just goofing off. Runs great. Clutch wasn't slipping but was at its adjustment limit.
