    For those of you interested in this mod, after some scrounging around, I found a parts breakdown of the actual kit from AA, it might help someone locate part numbers.

    How can this be added to the tech section under "clutch"?

    Well, depends, does AA have objections to this? Technically it's their property.

    I will be making mine out of parts from an old automatic garage door opener.
    Next time you’re in your garage look up and take a look...the sprocket, chain and adjustment stuff is great!

    if the stock clutch linkage is rebuilt does the AA clutch likage kit make for a better system?

    It helped me, but then my jeep is used hard on trails where thr frame is flexed up (crossing a ditch diagonally) if your clutch pedal won't come back up off the floor when in this position, then this mod will help. I bought several parts from AA and fabbed up the rest.

    Here is the clutch linkage I made for the Jeep, which is similar to the AA linkage: on my Jeep blog

    It was easy to do and is a huge improvement over my old linkage.

    That write-up was a huge help when fabricating my linkage. There is a wealth of knowledge in the Technical Library... In fact I use it more than the factory service manual. :) Cheers to you Sparky on hosting a great collection of CJ knowledge. :beer:

    I just figured that the part numbers would be handy to order replacements and or parts (from AA) to make your own setup, and the part numbers are not in the chain clutch section.
