 SHORTY'



 Look for a short clutch control rod if you're havin' trouble adjusting the free
travel of your 2V2-ton multifuel truck's clutch pedal. This goes for the M35A1,
M35A2 and all other trucks that have the M44A1 and M44A2 series chassis.
 Some control rods have popped up with more than an inch missing from the
threaded end. Measured in a straight line through the threaded end (not follow-
ing the bends), the control rod should be exactly 13 inches from the threaded
end to the center of the holes at the fixed yoke end.

 20 (Apr 65). But you may not be able to get that much if you've got a short
 control rod.
 A short rod should be replaced by a new one. You can get it by ordering
 Rod: control, w/yoke, assy, FSN 2540-752-0977. It's listed in TM 9-2320-209-
 20P (Jan 65).
 If your rod's OK and you still can't get the right free travel adjustment,
 check out the linkage for binding. Then get direct support to give you a hand
 in making sure the release bearing and bearing sleeve are working free. If
 they're binding, they'll have to be taken apart and lubed.
