So I have the classic clutch pedal bracket crack on my 1990 4x4 Pickup 3.0 v6, so i got a replacement bracket that is near identical except for the big spring on the clutch pedal. You can see the pictures of the different brackets here.

What should I do? could i replace the clutch pedal and get that spring holder plate cut and welded onto the replacement bracket? (on the right in the third photo)

this first photo shows the different clutch pedals, the pedal on the right has a metal bracket for the spring to attach to it pointing downwards.
the second photo shows the close up of the spring on the pedal assembly, and the third photo shows both pedal assemblies.


Differences in the two clutch pedals. the short metal bracket welded to the pedal on the right. ^^^





note the large spring



the two very different clutch pedal brackets. no spring mechanism on the right clutch pedal.

 

Get rid of that big clunky spring

Find a spring that works I used a brake return spring off a mid eighties Toyota 4x4 pick up.

You will be fine as long as it bolts up.

What did it come out of a Tacoma or newer 4Runner ??

 

came from a 91 toyota pickup 22re. they said it would work on my v6 so I guess Ill just have to try it out for size
Ill look for that brake return spring.

Thanks wyoming9!!
