I assume you are referring to one of the gear change detent springs. The detent spring on the top gear selector on my 1929 633 was weak allowing it to slip out of gear. I bought some similar-looking springs from a hardware store and with a little experimentation with length and stiffness of the new spring, it no longer slipped out of gear, It's not critical part, too weak and it won't hold too strong and it will be harder to shift gears

If you can find a part number, Bruce Blevins at the Packard proving grounds has blueprints.
