Clutch Return Spring (need some info)


Recommended Posts

OK had my clutch replaced on my 86 Brat, and well while going through it I noticed that the engine bay clutch return spring was not present... The clutch pedal is somewhat firm but does not return completely as it should.  Anyone have a picture of how the clutch spring mounts or if possible give me a simple measurement on how long the spring is.. I'll try hitting up some stores locally to see if I can find a suitable replacement.

 

Thanks!!!!

The return spring is on the Hill-Holder" valve itself.

May need to adjust it's cable some.

 

If one decided to remove the "H_H", a throttle return spring of correct length can be used.

 

All the return spring does really, is pull the throw-out bearing away from the pressure plate, so it isn't being spun all of the time, causing unneeded wear on it.

 

So any spring that can be fitted from the clutch fork to an anchor point to pull the bearing further away from the pressure plate, with minimal stretch at rest. Then enough stretch to give full travel of fork during movement of fork will do.

 

Can't say what spring I have on mine, just know it's a throttle return spring and it works.
