1978 Brat throwout bearing springs


Recommended Posts

call Subaru?

 

is EA81 different than EA82?  EA82, ER27, EJ clips were all the same.  i don't trust this 100% but this suggests they're the same part:

except they're only like $2-$3 at Subaru

Thanks grossgary.  I have found that style spring (clip) but I think it is for vehicles newer than 78.  Mine has two small coil springs that attach to the transmission itself and to the bearing carrier keeping the throwout bearing pulled tight to the transmission while the clutch is engaged. I'm kinda thinking they aren't needed since mine were both broken and everything seemed to be working fine. I just want to make everything right while its apart if I can.
