    Clutch throw-out arm needed

    I need the arm/lever that the clutch cable attaches to at the engine. I managed to bend mine, and it now has 2 hairline cracks. It still works, but I don't want it to fail on me as I'm going down the road. Anyone have and extra one laying around?

      Cool! Thanks! I would definitely ride over to pick it up - so long as this rain let up for a bit...

            Never broken one since I got my 11 in 09. Or on any other 11 I've had since.

            Properly installed and attention to seating when doing adjustment is key.

                  I imagine there is a "right" way of doing it, but I have yet to discover it. I always use a screwdriver under the arm to lift it up, prying against a small "bump" in the case. The arm tends to bend outward when doing this though. I need to create a pry tool to wrap under the arm, but pry it up in a circular fashion against the center mounting point.

                    I did, but the only message about this came from Vanimal5k. Looks like he's got me covered.

                      OK, good deal.
                      My PM must have been lost somewhere.

                        I've tried all the methods. I still seem to break it every year, lol. Somebody mentioned having them made in a tougher metal.

                          Maybe I'll do that. Hopefully, before my current one breaks, I can send it to my dad (an engineer with a shop) and have him fab something for me. I don't do much with metal, as I'm more of a woodworker.

                            Medium sized crecent wrench works great on the pivot arm.
