[DeTomaso] Broken Clutch Lever

[Art Stephens]

Michael,
     You sir were correct,  it is expensive!  Wilkinson's list price was like $245?  He sold me a used one for $150,  so I guess I should consider myself lucky.  Anyway,  I'm back on the road again just wondering what it is gonna be next?  That AAA card has already paid for itself this year,  that was tow #2.
Thanks,

Art

I think the part is cast iron,  which probably means it is not easily repairable?  I do have a heavy clutch which may have contributed to the problem?  I plan to check with Wilkinson to see if he has one. >>

If you go to the shop with $200 in your pocket, plan on driving home broke. :<(  Mike (who gave his away years ago, not realizing this....)
