Clutch Return Spring borke
I had some sensations that something was a bit different. Car still drove perfectly, however, the clutch pedal would not return completely to th "upright position"....and I discovered the clutch return spring was broken. Tried to find a C5 spring, and the only one I could find was on ebay for $85......what? for a simple spring? Any suggestions? Thanks. in advance...

Yeah, what’s up with that is C5 springs are impossible to get now and the guy on eBay knows it. I’m sure he won’t have a problem selling it at that price. They aren’t in stock anywhere that I’ve found. [Edit, price is up to 125.00 on eBay. He can eat a bag of wieners for that price]
