Hey guys,
I know it’s been a while, but just a few hours ago I finally put the new torque stud in my savoy, only to find out I’m missing yet another part. In the old diagram it’s called “end” and it’s drawing # 6-24-1. Can someone post the Mopar part # please? Thanks!!!
Mike
Mike, I show that PN to be a 1675245 under the 6-24-0 section, sub section as 6-24-1, (page 6-2) description is END, Front, MD2 good for both Dodges and Plymouths, 6 cyl and V-8’s alike.

Hmmm… not finding any results at all with that PN. I’ll keep trying. Faulkner posted the exploded diagram of the clutch linkage years ago; it can still be viewed under my posts if that helps anyone
Mike, I will go to work this weekend and scan the part number page if you like. Probably won’t be till Saturday Night. I will see if I can do it sooner. I could fax the page to you quicker if you like…
Let me know.
John Q.
I don’t have a fax machine, if you could just post it that would be great! I’ll still keep searching too. Somebody must have it!
I tried my two known links to NOS suppliers…Deception Pass Auto Parts, and Collector Parts Online,…they do not have your part. Perhaps that part would cross-reference thru Hollander’s???
according to the Parts Book, you need TWO… 
Have you sent an inquiry Email to John Fowlie at Big M Auto Parts?
Roger, yes I also tried Chet’s Auto Parts and Mitchell Motor Parts, who both had the torque stud i needed, and no luck. I don’t see how I would need two, unless it’s a two-piece part. All it does is connect the torque tube to the clutch fork, activating the clutch. Really wish I hadn’t moved 3 times since I took it apart, I would still have these things! Thanks everyone for all your help!!!

I did a little more research and found in my '58 manual the part is called “clutch fork release rod”. No mention in the '59 supplement, so I’m assuming they’re the same. There is also an adjusting nut, but I can get that at any hardware store. Also realized that I haven’t tried Andy Bernbaum yet.
alright, I am getting a bit confused here. You said the part is called “end”. In the 1959 Parts Book, there is an exploded diagram of the linkage, showing two “ends”, one on each side of the “shaft”, and below the stud. (I’d include the diagram, but I don’t know the proper way to post it)
The “stud” fits into the “shaft”. The “ends” below it are connected to eachother by means of a nut (so suggests the diagram). The second “end” has a spring attached. These “ends” ressemble eyebolts. What their precise function is I dunno.
I am surprised John Fowlie has none of these. Manual tranny Plymouths are not so terribly uncommon…
I will try to find time to either scan this diagram, or photograph it, and send it to Dan (or you, if you want).
The end I need is the one below the stud I think, because it attaches to the clutch fork. It would actually resemble an eye bolt. I looked up Big M auto parts, and came up with many pages of results. Can you give me a link to this guy, John Fowler, or give more details about his site??
Apparenty you don’t know the premier ForwardlLook Mopar Salvage Yard in the US…John Fowlie and his new bride M’lissa, owners of Big M Auto Parts in Williams, CA.
Go ahead and Email him at bigmauto@colusanet.com. John has a particular affection for 59 Plymouths..if he doesnt have your needed parts in his yard, he can find them. When you email him, mention me (Roger Howard) and/or 59sport fury.net.
Roger, Thank you, I will e-mail him tomorrow. I see now that there are two ends, one on the pedal side of the torque shaft, and one on the fork side. The upper one (pedal side) is still there because I didn’t need to remove it to get the torque stud off. I’m just missing the bottom one. Also I double checked and the adjusting nut is still there too.
Mike
Mike,
I do have quite a few manual transmission '57-'59 Plymouths here, but I’m still unsure of what part you actually are needing.
Is it the small rod that goes from the clutch bellcrank [also called a Z bar] to the clutch fork? I wasn’t able to cross your part number to my reference either. If you could clarify this, I would be more than happy to look for you. —John
John, yeah that’s it!! There is also a threaded rod with the adjusting nut, which is still on my car but I need the rod that fits over it and the hardware to fasten it to the fork. Let me know how much and I’ll send a money order ASAP. Thanks!
Mike
Hi Mike,
I just checked, and I have the parts you need. There is the open rod with the eye on the end where it connects to the clutch fork, a clevis pin that holds it in place, and a spring that helps keep tension on the unit.
I figure for all 3 pieces, $25 plus $6 for postage. You can call me at [530] 473-2225, or use my e-mail address, bigmauto@colusanet.com for a PayPal payment. —John
It appears you have discovered the benefits of getting to know John and M’lissa, with their well-stocked Mopar salvage yard! I feel positive that you will get your car operable now.
Thanks, John and M’lissa!
Roger
I feel so stupid. I stared at the first page for the last 2 days, wondering why the last post was by Roger but my last post was the last one I see! Anyway, yes, it looks like I’ll be driving her again soon! Thanks very much to all!!
Mike
