Reply To: Clock Spring Needs Repair After Transmission Repair and Dolly Tow

[Richard Kirshy]

Under normal conditions a transmission replacement would have no direct connection to a steering wheel clock spring.
It may have failed due to unusual vibrations when on the vehicle tow dolly, it may have failed due to age / normal wear and tear.
Chances are there is an open in the clock spring, but pinpointing the exact cause would be difficult.
