Yes sir. Picture not so good but I’m reading exactly 15.25 inches for the stock clutch push rod.

Thank you. Did you happen to measure the MCC one before installing?

I’ll certainly post my results when mine arrives, but I’m curious what you got. Note I don’t plan on installing mine unless/until I need it, which I’m hoping is never!

Didn’t actually measure it but placed them both together on work bench on their ends. Exactly the same length. Clutch works identically to before install.

I never had any transfer either but I got sick of checking!

What did he say when you mentioned his first rod was shorter?

He said his "Rods are cut at 15.250" and the ball ends are done by hand". Mine ended up being 15.125" clear case of a bad hand job on the rod, LOL

Never good to have a bad hand job~

You pull the entire side case and do the primary fluid change at the same time? I sent an inquiry for one myself. GTG at 3500mi for now, but I'm running on a FLHCS and haven't had any recalls either.

Why would you pull the entire side case to change the fluid?

Not to change fluid but to get to the rod/basket area etc, I'm not familiar and haven't seen a pic of where this rod even goes, yes I said that LOL
