Made from heavy-duty metal with a black painted finish, this replacement helps restore the mechanical connection needed for proper clutch operation. It is a strong choice when rebuilding clutch linkage, replacing worn drivetrain hardware, servicing a manual transmission car, or completing a big block Mercury Cougar restoration.
