clutch fork return spring

Any luck finding this? I am having the same problem with my fork pushing my throwout bearing against the pressure plate. If I can't find anything I will try to put something together and make a tutorial. I am thinking of putting some kind of sleeve around the spring so if the spring was to ever break, its pieces wouldn't end up inside the bell housing.

I'm interested in this as well.
I remember some company I saw online selling such a kit, but I cant find the link now.

A return spring would be a band aid at best...
If your fork/tob is putting too much pressure on your pressure plate then you have other issues. Get and adjustable cable or firewall adjuster to lengthen the cable to relieve the pressure.

That's what I want it for, a band aid. Until I have time to change my throw out bearing, and pressure plate. Some of the fingers stick out more than others causing constant contact with the t.o.b.

Good luck.
I don't see how this could work and if it does, your pedal pressure is going to be crazy hard.

I did this on my own after I lost the first throwout bearing at 40K. I have a Tremec 3650 and basically went to the hardware store and purchased a couple of springs that I thought would be a good fit and a couple of "S" hooks.
Without the dust cover on, I hooked a spring to the fork and to the tranny cross member and when I got it where I wanted it, I punched a hole in the back of the dust cover to make room for the spring. You don't need much tension to do the job.
It works fantastic for the last 15K for about $5 worth of parts.
Pedal pressures not hard at all. Since the spring is longer, it's the same tension from top to bottom of the pedal.
If you're using it as a band aid. When you finally change the throw out bearing, replace the spring and you'll never have to replace one again.
Cables can't "push" the fork, which would pull the bearing off the pressure plate. You need a spring to do that.
I wish I had pictures because I truely think this is one of the best (and cheapest) mods I did.
