Hi All,

Recently, the clutch return spring on my Crossfire came off because the arm on the pedal box it attaches to has snapped.

So I need a new pedal box put in to re-attach the spring to...

• Do I really need this clutch return spring attached?
• Does anyone have any idea how long it would take to replace the pedal box?

I want to get it replaced because it feels like my beautiful car isn't whole without it. However, it might take a long time (read: cost a lot) to replace. The part itself is cheap, but the Chrysler guys haven't dealt with this before and have no idea how long it will take. The part also is not stocked in the UK, so needs to be shipped in from abroad.

Any information anyone can give me on pedal boxes/clutch return springs in the Crossfire will be most appreciated.

Thanks very much, Carl.

 

I'm not sure which part you are referring to ! Clarify and I might be able to give you some information...

 

I think this is what you are referring to:



Try Dronsfield Mercedes in Oldham on 01457 871717, they are breaking mercs so might have a return spring from an SLK, I'm just about to get some parts from them myself. Also try www.mercedesparts.co.uk on 0113 281 3672 and ask for Martin, they sorted me out with some engine gaskets very promptly. If you were nearer I would have taken a look for you since I will be rummaging around in the footwell tomorrow myself.

 

HDDP, Woody's spot on with that diagram. Woody, I do have the return spring... the problem is that the bit that it attaches to on the pedal box has snapped off, so I need a new pedal box if I'm to put the return spring back on.

So I guess I need to know... do I really need this spring? And if so, how much time would it take to replace the pedal box?

Thanks for the info re the Dronsfield Mercedes, I'll store that away and hope I never need to call them for parts!

Cheers guys.

 

Hi nefer,
Exactly the same thing has just happened to me...
Did you replace the pedal box, and how much did it cost in the end?
Thanks,
Adam
