Default Anyone know where to get a clutch return spring?

I noticed today that my clutch return spring is broken. Through a search, I found one on gmpartsdirect.com for like $24 , so I was wondering if anyone else has found a cheap place to get them from since that's insane for a little spring (although, as of right now, it's my only option).

mine has been broke for over a year...


I just drive without it... the pedal returns fine from the pressure of the hydraulics...

Yeah, I know I don't need it. It has been broken ever since I got the car about a year ago, but I drove my brother's and my friend's and I LOVE the feel of it when it is NOT broken, so I am trying to find a new one.

Put it this way Joe, I drove your car yesterday. I loved the pressure of the clutch, made mine feel busted, even though it has a good return spring. uggghh

Even if you get the spring, you need a special tool to install it, at least thats what I read when I was searching how to replace mine. If you want to replace it, you either have to get the special tool or take it somewhere that has it and have them install it.

No tool really required, you need to take some stuff out of the way to get to it. Pewter has people that help him.

Yeah, my brother was an ASE mechanic at a Chevy dealership, so he will help me out with it. I have one on order from our buddy that works there now, I just wanted to know if I could get it cheaper.

Aaron, this isn't going to affect the pressure of the clutch in terms of driveability or anything. It's just going to make it snap completely back into place solidly, like it's supposed to. It feels 100% different with it in, even on a pedal with much weaker pressure. I like the feel better with a working one in.
