On my ‘87 the prior owner replaced the stock transmission with a manual transmission (NV3500 from an S-10). He used the linkage pictured below between the master cylinder and the clutch pedal.
I’ve broken it twice now and I think the obvious answer is that the piece isn’t strong enough to handle the force required.
Where the weld is showing, there was a nut and the smaller piece threaded into the larger piece so it could be adjusted, originally the part broke right at the nut, so it was welded back together, a few hundred miles later, it broke at the edge of the weld.
Is this linkage something that anyone recognizes as coming out of a specific vehicle (or vehicles)?
Does anyone have recommendations on where to find a replacement piece?
