It definitely down shifts easier but I still haven’t bought a replacement pushrod so hopefully that will make it even easier. It’s more difficult to downshift after I’ve been driving for a while. On a cold engine it’s a lot easier. I also blew a fuse and have been chasing the grounded wire which

I replaced the bushing on my NH over the weekend and had a similar experience to Matthew.. The bushing was worn completely through and the push rod was wearing a deep grove in the bracket itself. My downshifting is about 50% improved with the new bushing. I still have to "blip" the thro

The pushrod has a very slight bow to it. I’m wondering if I should just replace the whole clutch lever assembly with master cylinder. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 23, 2018, at 11:15 PM, Matt Awesome > wrote: > > > Looks like it's simply called a push rod. > > I know nothing about mechanics..
