Honda B/J Series Clutch Release Fork Spring 22835-P80-000

Genuine Honda Clutch Release Fork Spring (22835-P80-000) - B & J Series

The release fork spring is the part nobody thinks about until something rattles. Its job is keeping the fork properly seated against the throwout bearing, which sounds minor until the spring weakens and the fork starts moving in ways it shouldn't. It's a few dollars, it's buried behind a transmission, and it wears on exactly the same schedule as everything else in there.

Replace It With The Fork

The practical advice worth the most on this page.

This spring is only accessible with the transmission out, which is nearly all the labor on a clutch job. If you've got it apart, replacing the spring costs you nothing in additional access.

And it has been cycling alongside your fork and bearing for the same number of years and the same number of shifts. Springs lose tension with age and heat cycling even when they look perfectly fine, so reusing one on a fresh release system is how you end up with a rattle or an inconsistent pedal after doing the whole job.

If you're replacing the B-series release fork, add this to the order. There's no version of this decision where reusing the old spring makes sense.

What A Weak Spring Does

Worth knowing so you can recognize it.

The spring holds the fork against the throwout bearing under light tension. When it weakens, the fork can move away from the bearing slightly, which shows up as a rattle or chatter from the bellhousing area, usually most noticeable at idle with the clutch pedal up.

It can also mean the fork doesn't return to the same position consistently, which produces a pedal that feels slightly different from one shift to the next.

Neither symptom is dramatic, but both are the kind of thing that makes a car feel tired, and both are avoidable for the price of a spring.

Fits Both B and J Series Forks

Useful range on this one. The same spring works with the B-series release fork (22821-P80-010) and the J-series fork (22821-PYZ-000), which is why the fitment spans four cylinder Hondas and V6 Acuras alike.

Handy if you're working on more than one car, since one part number covers both engine families.

Who Should Grab One

This is for anyone with the transmission out doing clutch work, and for the builder who understands that a release system is only as good as its weakest reused part. It's among the cheapest things in the job and among the most annoying to go back in for. If you're in there, put one in.
