Paging Mr. Seymore - Clutch Spring Question

[tucsonjwt]

How many clutch springs go on the manual transmission? One from the clutch fork to the frame (what I have on my SM465), and/or another one somewhere connected to the clutch pedal? One or two springs? If connected to the clutch pedal, from where to where exactly is it connected. Thanks.

I'm going from memory here, since my '87 has the hydraulic clutch - but I want to say one spring from the clutch fork to the frame, and no spring on the clutch pedal itself.

Hopefully someone that has a truck more similar to yours can chime in and confirm.

Thanks, Keith. That's what I have on my truck - one spring on the clutch fork, no spring on the clutch pedal. But so far we have had every combination listed here: clutch fork only, clutch pedal only, clutch fork and clutch pedal. I am asking because I keep losing the adjustment on my clutch fork style spring set up, and I want to make sure that I have the correct configuration of clutch spring. I have the 83 C20 mechanical clutch. The graphic I have seen shows both clutch fork spring and another spring with an orientation I cannot decipher.
