• Bent or worn rod
• Drive remains in gear or neutral
• Damaged pivot holes or retaining hardware
• Grinding caused by incomplete clutch engagement

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the rod for straightness and its ends for wear or damage before fitting — a bent rod cannot be corrected by refitting and will bind or carry its load off-line
• Note its orientation and fitted position on removal; many rods are handed or are only correct one way round
• Fit without forcing, secure all locknuts, pins and clips, and tighten to the figures in the workshop manual for your engine
• Check it moves freely through its full travel by hand, with no tight spot or fouling, before the engine is run
