I'm swapping a 5spd into my factory auto 4Runner. When I bought my used 5spd pedal assembly, the spring for the clutch pedal had been removed. I put it in how I think it fits, but it makes the pedal behave weird. Makes the pedal want to stay forward when the pedal is forward... but makes the pedal want to stay back when the pedal is depressed.
This might be normal since when everything is installed, the pressure plate would be pressing back when the pedal is depressed, I just don't know.
If you can compare my photos to your working assembly I'd be much obliged.
