Clutch Rod End
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!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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

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.
