HA well another good reason to take pics! I took the pedals off my 36T and when I went to put them back on I noticed they are different lengths. I am guessing the longer would be the clutch but want to make sure first.

Thanks for setting me straight!

    Yup, the clutch is the longer one. The shaft needs to have a 1 1/2 inch clearance under the toeboard, with a spring and rubber pad there, while the brake shaft is against the rubber pad. Less clearance may cause the clutch to slip.



    This difference continued thru the stepdowns.

    Thanks Uncle Josh!
  • I got them mixed up on my 36, and when I sat in the drivers seat my leg would hit the steering wheel before I could put the brake on. That's when you know they're swapped!

    By the way, here we are in the parade, and the only two sedans on the road in NYS
