Thanks so much, that's what I was hoping

That's good info to have. Not cheap, but!!.

Interesting that the "-01" version is metal and has four "protrusions" at the top instead of three - I would have thought that this would have warranted a change of part number.

Yes that will happen to the nylon sitting on a shelf after 50 years. I believe the ones from speedandsportinc.com were made in the early to mid '80s. The ones I bought recently were not cracked.

Zeph,

First, search for parts for a DT-3, NOT a DT250. That designation stated in 1974, along with a new frame, etc. From 1968 - 1973, they were DT-1/2/3 and RT-1/2/3. That should make it easier for you. Also, you might consider any of the several conversion to other actuators discussed on this site. We've ALL been through it. I made the change, and have NEVER regretted it, and will never have a non-working clutch because of it. Do a search on here for "Clutch actuators."

Here's from an old text:

See one of the many "clutch actuator" threads on this site. These will explain both the problem, and permanent cures, if you want them gone forever. You CAN get repops of the whole actuator if you'd prefer, but these use the same plastic actuator, and they will crack, it's just a question of "when." Search Clutch actuator in the subject search with an author of Hammer and you'll find them. The mod was one of DEET's design, and HE deserves ALL the credit. I haven't even so much as done anything to mine since I did the mod back in 2013 or so.

Thanks Hammer, I didn't know about the conversions, I'll do a search
