1952 Plymouth Clutch Pedal Lift Spring

[grea235]

I'm looking for some help on the clutch pedal lift springs on a 1952 Plymouth Concord. 

 

While I was diagnosing some clutch shudder, I noticed that my clutch rod between the torque tube and clutch pedal linkage is missing the two clutch pedal rod lift springs.  I borrowed the pic below from a member's, post.  I hope that was ok.

 

I have a service manual, a motors manual and a old guide book, but they don't really describe the purpose of them.  I assume by the name that they help lift the pedal.  Is that all they do?  If they are missing can they induce any kind of chatter?  If I don't replace them is there a risk of the rod holes galling out and causing problems?

 

The only part number that came up in a search on this site or anywhere is a Chrysler number of 1329-486.  I don't have a part number book. If someone could verify the part number, I would be eternally grateful.

 

I looked on oldmoparparts, dpmotorparts, obertsmotorparts , moparmall to no avail.

 

If I can't locate some, I will have to bend some up myself or locate used ones.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

1324 778 is the number for a Plymouth, the number you have is for Desotos and Chrysler.  Read note 1 as well.

Hello together, the part number I allready found in the partsbook. But where did you found a seller for the clutch pedal rod lift spring?

I am sorry but I did not find any springs.  I made my own rod, so it is now a hard link with no springs.

Dear Grea235, thank you very much for your reply. Honestly, I didn't quite understand the meaning of the construction.

I thought it might be necessary for the movement of the motor in relation to the fixed body...

So I'll probably ream the hole and turn a suitable bronze bushing.

 

Or maybe I'll make such a spring myself...
