Flint RU think George will have us over for a luau if he gets his clutch off.

See you guys later I am going out to dinner with the MIL.

Thread size is 9/16-18
Your drive clutch appears to be froze in the full upshift position.

Sure a Luau would be fun, but I am a vegetarian, so as long as you're cool with vege-avo burgers......Anyways after 3 hardware stores I found what I thought was the correct 9/16" x 18 thread bolt. It is definately not a 3/4" diameter! The said bolt would not thread into the hole although I am sure it is a 9/16" (or 14mm if its metric?) diameter hole, the 18 thread was not correct. Ditto for the 9/16" x 12 thread, and 14mm x 2.0 metric bolts I also bought. I also tried a old crank bolt from a v6 dodge caravan (14mm x 1.5 I think?), and that didn't go in either! Maybe its a 9/16" x 16 thread or a 20 thread? Anybody got a puller and a thread gage from the tap & die set that you bought years ago from Harbor frieght and never used? I am too close to get fustrated! I'll have to go drink a beer and chill out until someone replys

. At least its not like 10 degrees below zero here! LOL!

Aloha! George

If its a 9/16" x 18, my threads are buggered up!
