Hey guys,

 

In the engine compartment where the clutch cable comes in it appears that there is a hole where a spring would fit in to help stabilize the clutch cable. The cable makes a lot of noise which stops when i put my finger on the assembly or push the clutch in. I have been waiting months for a donor to come in to Pick and Pull South to pull a spring with no luck. Now that I have fixed some more major problems I am ready to deal with that missing spring. What size (length) spring will work in there?

 

Thanks!

Order it from the dealer. It's probably less than $5.

So I guess it is called a clutch fork spring. Since the dealer was not open I had an at first frustrating phone call with my local Oreily. Fortunately, the other guy there had a brain and suggested that a spring of the right length would work and that they may have one or that there were places in town where I could have one fabricated.

 

So I went out to the garage, grabbed a piece of wire recycled from a pinata no less, and made my own spring by tightly coiling the wire around a screwdriver. The coils are like 2.5 inches and then I put one end in. pulled tension, and cut the right length. Totally works and no more squeaking noise!

 

Have to give credit to the picture in this post.

I will replace this with a proper spring pulled or from dealer soon
