  1. I removed my transmission and throw out bearing/fork assembly from my 1937 Dodge business coupe D5 with 3 speed transmission. My question is in addition to the 2 circular springs used to hold the throw out bearing carrier to the fork assembly there was a small mangled spring in there also. Please refer to 2 photographs. There is a factory plate that has 2 tabs with holes in them bolted to the front of the transmission which then would have these tabs 180 degrees apart on either side of the input shaft flange. I think the small mangled spring originally had one end in there but I don't see where the other end was connected to. Was this a homemade solution to something or was it a factory item to return the throw out bearing when clutch was released? I don't see where the other end of the spring would go. I wouldn't think it would have been attached to the circular springs. Do I have a mismatch of parts or what? Should there be 2 springs? Thanks for your help in solving this puzzle.
  2. Was laying under our P15 today, looking at clearance between my new brake lines and the area where the clutch over center spring will connect to the frame and the torque shaft. Then (as Tim once put it, which this is super funny - a great flash of light went off in the distance !! ) as my mind began to search for " how am I gonna get this stiff spring assembly back in place without tearing me or the car (probably both) up " ??. Typically, depending on the size of the spring,...like with brakes, etc...if I can't pull it with just my hand strength, I use a screwdriver, or (I've got one of the old brake spring remove/install tools which looks like a crooked bar with a cupped end that grabs hold to a metal hole edge or stud), anyway - with this spring being about the size of a hood spring, I can't even make the thing budge with just hand force),...so I read through all the forum posts I could find on over center springs,....found a lot of info on adjustment of the spring, but unless I missed it - didn't really find anything concerning installation, except one fella who stated that he used some 3/8 steel cable and a turnbuckle, and four hours later he finally got it in place.... In searching outside the forum, I found the picture attached. Where the same question was being addressed in regards to the old Ford cars. Hoping folks might share the best way to install an over center spring on a 1946 P15. So far the method shown in the attached picture is the only thing I've stumbled across that seems do-able. I hated not to ask here, as more than once - I have been shown here on the forum, a very simple way to complete a task that I was trying to make more difficult than necessary. Thanks again for trying to educate an old "parts replacer" into something that more resembles a real, old car mechanic. Steve
