hydraulic linkage. This tab should be removed for extra clearance of the clutch fork. The slot for the
fork should also be elongated to provide more clutch travel. Remove ½" of material toward the engine
side of the shield. The last modification to the housing is to enlarge the hole for the clutch cable to pass
through, the ½" bolt hole that is directly in front of the slot for the fork needs to be drilled out with a / "
