Pedal Assembly Rebuild

[OZCarrera3]

I finally decided to get in an rebuild my pedal assembly. The main reason for the rebuild was a very dead feeling cluth pedal (no spring back) and apparent slack or play in the other pedals.

After finally pulling bthem out, found pretty much what I expected...very rusty pedal assembly, worn bushes and a very bent/stretched clutch spring. In this regard, the new spring I got from our Host lokks quite different, stronger guage wire and a little longer than the one I took out. I'd appreciate comments as to whether the new spring is the correct one. The part number is correct but...



Next is getting the pedals etc media blasted and painted, then it'll be reassmebly time.

The new spring (blue) is the correct one. The old one is deformed and is part of your lack of spring back problem. Have never seen one like that ....

sure looks close to the same length..?

I understand that the old one was deformed/stretched, but the new one is actually slightly longer. I would have thought that it should be shorter.

My car was built at the time they were switching from the mag case (which mine has) to the aluminium case. Many parts of my gearbox are a mix of both versions (i.e. electronic speedo, but coarse spline diff for example). I am thinking that maybe the clutch sporing is another example?
