TRACK
REMOVAL
Your
1973
TX
Starfire

equipped
with
a
quick
change
front
drive shaft. This unique system
was
developed
for
two
very
important
reasons:
1.
It
is
extremely fast

change tracks
...
approxi-
mately ten minutes
from
start
to
finish.
2.
The chaincase, gearing, and driven
clutch
do
not
have
to

removed.
Without

of
these items,
your
clutch alignment and center
distance
will
not
change.
