    72 CJ5 with T14a

    I swapped out pedals to 76+ pedals, they are cut to fit....but my linkage dont seem to fit anymore.

    Before I go buy 76+ linkage kit, Id like advice to make sure I need it.

    I was under the impression that it's the same linkage...although, I seem to remember that '72 had something unique about it, but I don't know the specifics.

    Have you tried browsing the parts books at oljeep.com? Give it a shot, there are diagrams and part numbers that should help.

    The linkage on the 76+ jeeps are diffrent the way the bellcrank attaches is diffrent and the rod lengths are most likely diffrent as well. You would have the best luck lengthing or shortening your current vertical clutch rod to work with the diffrent mounting hight of the 76 pedals.
