First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... The stud that I kept getting from the dealer was significantly shorter than the correct one. The ball did not fit but about half way into the Z-bar tube. Now, it has been many years since I dealt with this but the correct one fit much farther into the tube. My initial fear was that engine torque under hard acceleration (showing off)would be enough to make the tube come off of the shorter stud. Ronnie Tadlock In a message dated 1/30/2008 10:09:14 P.M.

First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Dont know if its right but compared it to one I had in a bucket of parts removed about 30 yrs ago so I doubt it was a superseded one. I would feel better if it was in another inch or so.Hold comments please. Gary Subject: Re: [FGF] V-8 clutch linkage From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 07:04:54 EST I had a similar problem many years ago. The stud coming off of the block broke during a shift and the replacement stud I was given by the dealer was a part that superseded the original. That stud was quite a bit shorter than the original and the clutch Z-bar barely caught on it. After several attempts, I finally got the right one. The GM part number back then was 9786072. I remember that number because I made a trip to the dealer week after week to see if they had gotten the right one yet.
