Clutch Pedal Return Spring Broke
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2009 11:01 am
The clutch pedal return spring broke on my SVTF 
. I discovered this when my cruise control refused to work (because the clutch pedal wasn't returning fully to "home", and didn't depress the switch).
Anyway, what a pain! One end is attached to the end of the clutch pedal (easy to get at), but the other end is buried somewhere behind the clutch master cylinder that I just replaced a few weeks ago.
Anyway, I pried a couple of the loops apart at the end of the spring, and used a piece of wire to connect the spring to the clutch pedal. Not state-of-the-art, but functional. There's no way I was going to pull that master cylinder out again!
