Clutch pedal too soft/no feel? Remove the helper spring!

chuckd05 · 06-17-2011, 11:37 AM

Being 6-3 it's impossible for me to not hurt myself while working On it. My bottom pin does not want to go back in for anything. I had nick come too And we were unsuccessful. I'm going to take a Dremel to the pedal opening to let me get it in. Right now the seemly is installed with no pin and it it clicks when the pedal comes up and Its rather annoying.

Boost when you said you used the clutch pedal as leverage what do you mean?

I had to sand the entire pin down a little, and then put some lube on it. It slid right in afterwards.

If you look to the right of the clutch spring assembly, there should be a flat metal area connected to the pedal assembly. It's like a flat L bracket sort of, can't remember perfectly. I put one end of the channel locks on the pin (left) and the other end on that L bracket thing (right). You probably could use the bottom of the spring assembly too but it might push the pin through at an angle and be harder.

Edit, pic might be easier. Put the channel locks like the red points here
