I know I took this part off somewhere around the bellhousing but I'll be darned if I can figure out where it goes. Can you help me?

Hey Jerry, I confirmed it. It's the spring for the left side of the cross shaft. Checked both the assembly manual and the '55.

Great. I'm heading to the manual now. I was so sure it was a clutch piece that I didn't look anywhere else. Thanks.

Ok; the 57 assembly manual doesn't show this piece very well. Anyone have a link to a 55 or 56 manual that may have a blow-up of this spring? Maybe someone could scan the right page and send it to me? Please!

Perhaps an explanation of the purpose of this piece and the orientation of the small loop in the middle. Thanks for you help.

55 2nd shop manual - but doubt you'll see a better pic there - the assembly manual is the same 55-59, and it doesn't show much except it's location ... sect6 sheet6.00, called "597417, spring" - goes on the shaft on each side of the mounting bracket w/ the center loop underneath out of sight
