Clutch Helper spring problem

[pohsche]

Has any one had any problems with the clutch helper springer sliding off it's post? My car is a '77 Carrera 3.0 with a '86 915 tranny. It does it it no particular pattern, but seems tight as I pry it back on.

I think the helper spring is pressed on, so it makes sense that it is going on tight.

[Chuck Moreland]

The helper spring at the pedal is held on by the spring's tension and a little ridge the prevents it from slipping off.

It should be very tight. In fact it should be hard to re-install when it slips off.

Could be your spring has gone too soft and is slack? They're not very expensive to replace.

I guess I wasn't to specific. I am talking about the one on the bottom of the tranny

there's supposed to be a washer and a tiny snap ring to keep it in place.
