Clutch Release Mechanism - a problem

FarmerPG · Apr 20, 2021

So I have been taking the gearbox apart of our S2a - took out the Clutch release mechanism and noticed there was no spring in the cross shaft. I assumed that there should be one... although not sure what is does!
I have bouts the spring but for the devil of me I have no idea how (or even whether) it fits! It can't go side by side the fork and thrust washer - its just too tight... and its a struggle to get the spring into the fork. If I could get it in I doubt it would do much use in there.

Any ideas on what to do? Thanks.

According to parts manual stping goes inside the fork itself.

Thanks Lynall for looking this up. The spring is quite long - you can get it into the fork with a struggle... but I can't see - with it so compressed in there - what its purpose can be apart from getting in the way of the shaft! It can't act as a spring back (or forward) mechanism.

Anti rattle spring I recon, Clutch unit springs push the fork back.

That makes sense tottot - can’t believe it needs to be such a long spring but I’ll thread the spring back into the tube of the clutch fork with a small end showing that acts to stop any fork rattle
Thanks!
