Adrienne 1 #1 Posted July 1, 2020 Does anyone know where I can find a transmission drive clutch spring for a c 160 automatic? I’m not sure what year it is. Thank you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,347 #2 Posted July 1, 2020 There was a thread on here fairly recently about that. Perhaps @squonk or @daveoman1966 could chime in and help you out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,079 #3 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) to RedSquare! Until you get a new spring, you can put a new hook on that one. Heat the spring steel end coil cherry red with a blow torch and that will allow it to bend without breaking but it removes the "spring" in the steel so only heat the small part you need to bend. You can use a thin piece of metal to protect the coils you don't want to heat. Or, You can take it to the hardware store and match it up with a spring in their selection of springs.

Adrienne 1 #6 Posted July 1, 2020 Thank you all! I wasn’t sure if I could go to the hardware store or not because my son made a point about springs and their weight/tension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,721 #12 Posted July 2, 2020 ADRIENNE , MOST HARDWARE STORES TODAY HAVE UPGRADED TO A VERY THOROUGH SELECTION . from isles of brackets clevis hitches and many types of springs . also a terrific slide out drawer selection of practically anything you might need . you can match up or get very close to your spring , i typically use a needle nose vise grip or a phillips round shank screw driver to slide in a spring , i also lubricate the contact points for smooth operation. should be a simple fix, pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
