So I am doing the auto to manual swap on my 1995 V6 4runner. I have the automatic pulled and ready to put the manual in. I was installing the throwout/clutch release bearing and the spring that holds the fork in place is a pain in my butt. I have it on (what I think is the right way) but when I push the fork (as if it was the slave cylinder) after about 3 times the spring slides itself off. Any idea? When its all installed is this going to stop? im really frustrated with this so any help would be nice.

 

Your not even close to having the spring on correct.

i need to find a clutch fork I don`t think I have any apart but I will look

 

It should go on in the orientation shown in the pic below. Yours needs rotated(and flipped?) 180°.

 

I hope they can figure it out from that.

Doing a swap nothing to look at. unless you had the parts truck in the other garage bay

 

Your almost there...

The dog ears go on the other side of the clutch fork, then your springs goes from dog ear to dog ear with the fork. Your spring is a little different than mine, but here is a pic. I tried to zoom it in but failed miserably.

 

Here's a pic of mine.

And, I'm not 100% sure it's on the right way. But it's been working just fine like that. So, I'm not messing with it.
