Clutch linkage
MG: TD and TF (1949-55) • YA, YB and YT (1947-53)
adjustable, with twin fork
Early TDs had a clutch cable that was prone to friction problems, and many of those cables were replaced for the rod installed in the later TDs and TFs. While the rod was an improvement over the cable, it was still prone to its own problems. As all the clutch components wear, including the linkages, the lever on the bell housing has to travel further to disengage the clutch. This causes the rod to bind and it will bend at the threaded end.
We now offer an adjustable clutch link, a modification that should have been made by the Factory.
This linkange has been designed to overcome this problem so that correct pedal travel can be maintained throughout the life of the clutch.
