Thread: Transmissions spring question

May seem a little silly but finished converting my B15 trans back to hydro, I have a little helper spring that was on the cable clutch, I put that back on with the hydro arm, will this cause me any issues?

I have had issues with those springs in the past. It ends up compressing the slave cylinder so you have to double pump the pedal sometimes. I'd recommend that you remove it. If the box is still off and you don't want to punch the roll pins out to take the arm out, cut the spring off with a grinder, but i definitely wouldn't recommend it being left on there.

I mistakenly put in when doing my tranny swap (VZR box on a Hydraulic P11) and have been there for about 12000Km (7500 miles). No issues so far and many of them WOT miles/hard shifts with JWT PP with B15 disc

I didn't have a problem for a long while, but suddenly i did and it was a pretty major issue, not getting full disengagement of the clutch = grinding gears and damage to syncros.

If you use the OEM hydraulic spring this probably won't be an issue as i'm quite sure its lighter / different to the cable version which is a stronger spring, but i've never had one out to compare their thickness etc.
