I need a clutch release lever

[paulsaveo]

Does anyone out there have an extra clutch release lever laying around, or a spare manual transmission laying around you can remove a clutch release lever from. Ive got an 04 with a manual trans and my clutch release lever is bent and no one in north america sells it, I cant even get it from GM.if it may help, the part number from GM (even though they cant get one) is 96144874. I am DESPARATE

Wow, must not be too many of them going out then, that's a good sign. How did you bend your clutch release lever?

[paulsaveo]

I have no clue how it bent. I was out driving 2 weeks ago and the clutch pedal would only go halfway down, I had to force it down further to be able to shift so I could get home. When I remove the old clutch and pressure plate, the finger on the pressure plate were messed up, Im guessing the pressure plate fingers binded and extra pedal pressure bent the lever.
petrified, thanks for that tip, I emailed the seller

I heard back from the guy with the ebay listing, he said he wont part it out, a company I found in china that has the lever after a few emails back and forth finally said my quantity is too small they wont do business with me.

email precisionboost, i believe he may have a few transmissions (or anyone from daewootech) that would be able to help out.

thanks petrified, Im not a member on daewootech, but I will log in later when I get a chance (Im at work, weve been running 15 to 20 hours a day this week) and see if anyone there can help me out. This is getting rediculous all over a $15 part

Thank you to everyone that tried to help me locate a clutch release lever, I now have a brand new lever in my hand. The dealership I work for, the owner owns several different dealerships in 2 different cities, a parts guy at one of our dealerships was able to get a parts guy at a GM dealership to get an emergency rush order in to get my lever.

Glad to hear it.

I hate to say it but, I think I am going to put a for sale sign in the window of my Aveo once I get the lever in and drive the aveo away from work.
