Spring, Shift, Fork 532100371

This shift fork spring is found in your outdoor power tools. It helps you to control the speed and power of your machine by engaging and disengaging the gears in the gearbox. When the spring is broken, your machine will make grinding noises or jerk when you try to shift gears. If you overlook a damaged spring, it may lead to severe damage to the gear mechanism, which can result in costly repairs later. To remove the spring, start by turning off your machine and disconnecting the spark plug. Once you have access to the gearbox, locate the spring. It Is usually connected to the shift fork mechanism, but since the location can vary depending on the model and make of your machine, you will need to consult your user manual. Use pliers or a screwdriver to gently release tension on the spring. This may involve carefully compressing it or unhooking it from specific attachment points. Please be aware that this OEM metal spring is sold individually and is not included with the shift fork.
