Accelerator Return Spring, Z28 And Big Block, 1967-1969

Whether from becoming loose or broken due to metal fatigue, your 1968 Camaro's accelerator return spring may need to be replaced. The clutch spring has two purposes in your F-Body, which are to assist in counter-acting the spring tensions in the pressure plate diaphragm when you depress the gas pedal, and to act as a return spring and hold the gas pedal against the stop when the pedal is not depressed so that the throwout bearing is not resting on the diaphragm fingers. This part hooks on the coil bracket, going into the gas pedal arm. It is essentially responsible for pulling the gas pedal back to the neutral position. Without this spring, you would feel a difference in the use of your accelerator pad, and you should get it replaced as soon as possible. Rick's Camaros of
