The Thwaites Clutch Pedal Spring (OEM T7026) is a genuine replacement control system component designed for use on selected Thwaites site dumpers. The clutch pedal spring provides the return force required to return the clutch pedal to its resting position after operation, ensuring smooth, consistent pedal movement and reliable clutch control throughout normal machine operation.
Manufactured to OEM specifications from high-quality spring steel, the clutch pedal spring is engineered to withstand repeated compression cycles, vibration, and the demanding conditions encountered on construction and civil engineering sites. Precision-manufactured for an accurate fit, it is designed as a direct replacement component to restore the correct operation and feel of the clutch pedal assembly.

Always verify compatibility using the machine model and serial number before ordering, as clutch pedal springs can vary in length, diameter, spring rate, and application between machine models and production revisions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always confirm the correct OEM part number, machine model, serial number, and clutch pedal assembly specification before ordering, as clutch pedal springs are manufactured to precise dimensions and tension requirements. Installing the correct component is essential to ensure smooth clutch pedal operation, reliable clutch control, and safe machine operation.
Common signs of a worn or damaged clutch pedal spring include reduced return tension, sluggish pedal movement, deformation, corrosion, cracking, unusual pedal feel, or complete spring failure. When replacing the clutch pedal spring, it is recommended to inspect the clutch pedal pivot, bushes, linkage, clevis pins, mounting points, and associated fasteners for signs of wear or damage. Replacing any worn associated components at the same time will help maximise the reliability and service life of the complete clutch pedal assembly.
