Adjustment linkage at an angle

I would think that the alignment is much more critical when your clutch is depressed!! That's when all the load is on the linkage. Have someone depress the clutch and take another pic ....make sure you're at the same level (vertically) as the linkage when you take the pic, if you take the pic at an angle you get some parallax (new word for you).

PS - Make sure your car is not on an incline when you're under the car and your friend depresses the clutch.....OUCH!!!Treblig
