971409 Spring, countershaft

This countershaft spring is a specialized component for the transmission top cover on vintage 45" Flathead models. It fits a broad range of years from 1929 to 1973, covering the long production run of the WL and Servi-Car series. As a direct replacement for OEM parts 33455-26 and 2168-26, this MCS spring provides the correct tension required for proper shifting and internal gear alignment. Over time, original springs can lose their temper or snap, leading to sloppy gear engagement. Installing this high-quality reproduction ensures your transmission operates with the tactile feel and reliability intended by the factory. It is a small but vital part for any mechanic focused on a period-correct and functional gearbox restoration.
