stakeside Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 My trans has a spring that pulls the throw out bearing back after clutch is engaged. This spring is very hard to connect as shown in picture. Any suggestions on how you have connected this spring is greatly appreciated. I do not have a replacement spring. ARE THEY AVAILABLE.

JFranklin Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 A good hardware store might have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Maybe brake spring pliers could be used some way to make it easier to connect the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Fits many applications. Is very easy to slip on, when its the correct part.

stakeside Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks for lead. Any information on installing is appreciated. Very tight area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hand attached to the bearing side, then use a pair of needle nose pliers to slip on the housing hole...shouldn't be tight at all, this is standard replacement part and would have been designed to come off while under a lift or the floor, without removing any other parts...with the correctly sized spring should fit right up. I am assuming your doing this with gear box and flywheel separated, as presented in your photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Not sure of the old but this might work. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/ProductDetail/A-7562_CLUTCH-RELEASE-BEARING-SPRING?fromCategory=SearchByKeyword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trans on my 29 Dodge truck has a different clutch fork assemble and it can not be removed. This in turn requires the throw out bearing to be installed while the trans is being installed. The spring installation must be done after trans is placed and there is little room going thru the upper inspection opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
