I'm not sure who on the forum works on chrono movements, but I'm sure there are some. If you can't find anyone on here,  just remove the movement from a case and take it to a local watchsmith

Is there anything else wrong with the movement other than the clutch spring having come out? Also, how did this come out?

If in fact this is the only thing wrong, it looks like you have some tweezers there with you - maybe you can try to replace the spring yourself.  Probably the worst thing that could happen is the part go flying (these little springs have a tendency to do that). And if this doesn't work, go to RadioShack, buy a new battery (doesn't matter which one), and just jam the battery in there - that should solve it too! =)

Slide the long arm of the spring into it's position until the shorter end is touching the automatic bridge.
Then with your tweezers grab the point illustrated below and lift it over the locating screw.

Once over the screw, push it forward and until the loop is seated on the locating screw.

That's a super easy fix if it is just that. If it's bent and you can't make it straight then just get a new one and insert it straight as from the last pic in the post above this.
How did you mangled it that way?

It's a $5 part at Ofrei, part 8320.

Hi guys. I was doing something else and hit it w a screwdriver when it slipped and knocked it out. It got bent a little and I tried to put it back in 50times and just cant get it, maybe something is in a blocking position for the clip to go in? And it needs rotated slightly idk. I just can’t get it.

You need two hands and two tools to insert that spring. The standard practice is to grip the curved end with tweezers, then slide the spring on while holding it down and guiding with sharpened peg wood. Sure it's easy if you know how to work on movements, but otherwise...

Looks like a difficult task.  The slight bending may be why its not going back in.

Amazing instructions there mate, well done! Did you take those pictures yourself or are they from an online resource? If the latter, could you share the source? If the former, you're a forum legend for  doing it.

I really wish I could be a legend for you but I’m not.

I've already seen a million posts over there from the OG: Ssteel himself. People even refer to him as a professional watch repairer. I bet Pickle would have an opinion on that...,

He's indeed very active over there, noticed that in the past

He is a professional watch repairer as he gets paid to repair watch... he's not a good professional watch repairer nor an honest professional watch repairer

GSteel won't be anything like that !
