Title: Shifter Spring
Post by: Amilla on April 26, 2010, 05:11:03 PM
Have a 93 Sidekick transmission.
When I pulled the shifter out of the trans, I found that the tapered spring that is on it was broken.
I don't to buy a new one, just figured I would pull the old shifter apart and try and replace the spring. 
Only problem is the spring was so far destroyed, the only measurement I can get from it is the gauge. 
To make a long story short, can anyone tell me the size of this spring?  Length and diameter(Large end/small end).

Thanks a lot.

I cant give you the dimensions, but, I had the same issue a while back and Hawk shipped me one out, same day, and cheap.. Give them a try... 1-888-SAMURAI

Thats cool.
I talked to Sean at Lowrange and he was saying that a used shifter was 75 bucks. 

But I found the same style spring through Mcmaster Carr.  Figure ill just order up a few springs with similar size, pull the old shifter apart and see what I can do.

That spring just keeps tension on the retaining cup right?

Pretty sure I could use any spring, as long as its not to loose.


Thanks a lot

Yea, It keeps the locking cap in place... Be sure to get one that fits tight... I had an old one that did not hold the shifter tight in place and it's annoying....

hey amilla, you CAN order from mcmaster, i am not sure how much they will charge you, but I (like zukipilot) went through hawk and they charged i believe $2.00 plus shipping. not sure what kind of deal you are getting from mcmaster,  but at least you know the one from hawk will fit

You can get the spring through Hawk?
