I get then from Ken at Vanagain, under $20. These almost always need replacing in my experience lately. We did list member Lee Koun's 88 Westy clutch last week and his cross shaft was shot even at under 60k miles. The Syncro I am doing today is likewise worn flat on the curved section so badly that the release bearing gets cocked and galls the surface of the sleeve that it rides on. I'm replacing that too.
