I bought the Clutch Rod end PERMANENT repair powersrtoke too off E-Bay and the rod end is great.
But I now need to get another rod end pitman arm if it's even called that. All I know is the nylon bushings look good still but the teeth on the arm are a bit worn. The teeth on the shaft are nicely grooved still.
Does anyone know if the dealership is the only way to go for a newer one or in decent shape.

Any help is appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes the stealership is the only place you can get one of those new. i guess you could go by a junk yard but you will runn into the same problem you are having rite now. good luck

 

why do you think you need a new one? I've had mine off at least three times.

 

Well the grooves are not very deep on it unless there made that way. The grooves on the pedal linkage itself are well grooved.
I just don't want it to strip out under pressure is all. I could be wrong in it just being worn since the other teeth are not worn much at all (ones on the pedal linkage.)
When you take a screwdriver to the grooves on yours (if you did) were the grooves pretty worn.
Thanks for your help!!!

 

This isnt a spline setup, one part has grooves cut into it and when you tighten the arm to the shaft, it cuts grooves into the other. Its kinda a press fit with positive engagement. What im saying is, you're fine with just reinstalling it. I also bought the ebay Clutch Rod end PERMANENT repair.

 

Oh that's Awesome glad I keep on learning about my new ride lol
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!

How are your pedal box bushings? Now would be a good time to replace if needed. Not expensive either.

 

Those aren't too bad they have some play but right now I've put it all back together and I can't get the engine to crank.
Checked the clutch safety switch (wiggled it a bit) no joy. Have 12.5 on both batteries, wait for start comes on then goes off as normal but nothing. There's a 1/4" of rod left after the pedal is to the floor so I took the rubber off the clutch pedal stop n no joy either.
Today I put the rod end on first so it was seated in the rod end piece from e-bay.
Is there a way to check or bypass the clutch safety switch if that's my issue.

 

I just jumped the red/light blue wires together. Mine only had 4 wires to it prpl/white brwn/yellow.
Seemed to work just fine though, started right up. Clutch pedal feels a little different though.
