Bought a cheap POS s13 and found out that the clucth pedal has been tied to the dash, SO do I need to buy a new clutch pedal or do you guys see anything wrong with it that I can fix.

im guessing the return spring was not working, so the previous owner ghetto rigged that bungy cord to act like the return spring?

it looks like ur return spring is broken. u should replaced another one.

sergey911 · 06-05-2008, 09:31 PM

Thanks for the help, do you guys know by any chance where I could buy one?

the only place i was able to find a return spring was at a nissan dealership parts department. there are also two little plastic bushings that the spring pops into that you'll probably want to replace. its a bitch to do but worth it if you have dead pedal, or in your case the ghetto rigging.

yeah your spring return is most likely broken, the little u-joint the spring rests on probably ate the metal of the clutch pedal, i would post pictures but photobucket is being weird, rebuild the clutch pedal.

thanks for the info guys

sergey911 · 06-05-2008, 11:14 PM

wouldn't the return spring also be called the assist spring???????????

smurfgcr · 06-05-2008, 11:19 PM

That spring up there works more on the push then the return. I would guess the pressure plate is gone first followed by the the MC and SC.

sergey911 · 06-06-2008, 12:07 AM

im changing the clutch and pressure plate, my clutch is gone.
thanks again guys
