Just cleaning the control rods etc and I have come to do the clutch lever control rod... It's the one which hinges on the central bulkhead. The rod itself that connects to the clutch lever on the gearbox is bent all over the knot end ! Should it be this way or should it be straight ?

Richard,how much of a bend? I believe there should be a slight bend or two to clear the engine and bell housing. Pics?

I think straight. Only because continually flexing makes no sense.
See the thread "control rods"

Richard, if it is the same as the Aust one, and I assume it would be similar, then it should have 2 bends in it from the bellhouse lever to the bulk head and a straight section to the pedal.

You guys have forced me to look more carefully, and the parts book backs up what you say.
