Carerra3oh - this spring I have was made by a neighborhood spring manufacturer as a prototype favor, car nut said similar to some early Hurst shift spring, measuring was eyeballed by pictures and determined to be between 44-47mm. Technically the “leg” is measured from center of the coil and loop (5-6mm). I don’t recall what angle it’s set to but close to 90° - 100° deflection, which more deflect affects the spring rate pressure.
I recall kartsen spring were hand-made and stated to have some variances.

All I would suggest is to mock up some sort of stand without installing it and work the shifting thru the motions while looking underneath to see if the spring coil will drop out of the way of any touching.




@funracer - No correspondence whatsoever. Backstory I ordered his spring I still hadn’t received it after an over a year, in fact after the first couple months he PM’d me and sent another DHL tracking number, still no tracking location was ever found the two missing parcels. So I sent PM’s but never received anymore replies. After over 1 year, out of the blue he sent a PayPal refund with note of apology. That’s that.
