Clutch fork throw out bearing retaining spring

[Chuck R.]

Any good resourses for the throw out bearing retaining spring that's riveted to the clutch fork for a 68?

Thanks,

Chuck

Originally known as GM #3849698, the spring was later replaced by GM #12337938. That's also been discontinued, but I'm sure there are still plenty around. Most folks usually just replace the whole fork rather than deal with setting the rivet, so I don't expect that GM never sold a whole lot of these springs.

Your local GM dealer should be able to locate one for you and obtain it from another dealer. This is a part worth only a few bucks, so the dealer might just want you to deal direct with the other dealer. There may even be one available from a dealer right near where you live.

If all you need to replace is the spring, Paragon sells the spring (including the rivet that attaches it to the fork) for $6.00.
