Update time!

While driving in town today, I released the clutch pedal and heard a metallic 'tink' accompanied by the feel of something dropping on my foot.

The return spring I had replaced new 4 years ago just broke. On the side, not where the original was wearing in the center.




Just ordered up GM P/N 25867553, the correct part for the SS MU3 manual transmission.

It looks like the GM P/N 25867552 is the correct part for LS/LT 2008-2011 M86 manual transmission.

So I swapped my original spring back in(yes, I do tend to hang on to stuff), until the new part gets here.

 

ya gotta quit using the clutch..... Shift it like an 18 speed

 

You mean one of these?



Or like this?

I seem to recall that spring was on a back order status at one time ?
Or am I thinking of the clutch pedal pivot bushings ?

 

That's it no clutch except to get it rolling

 

It may have been, years ago. I had no issue getting it 4 years ago, and this order is already shipped, should be here by Saturday. It's a kit, with the spring and bushings.

I can't imagine how much practice it would take to be able to learn that!

 

I’ll stick to the automatic! Yikes that shift pattern is intimidating!!!

 

 

Got the parts on Saturday as promised. The install takes maybe 5 minutes. Anyone whose clutch pedal hangs up, or is replacing their spring, should have a look at this repair how-to, see if you may have a similar issue. This shows why I had the issue with the original spring.
