With the shifters, some people have removed one of the springs attached to the clutch pedal, and most seem to like it that way. I suspect that it is just a personal preference, as I never did that, and I love my clutch the way it is.

For a while there was quite a bit of debate as to weather or not torque management exists in cars with manual transmissions. I think that most people agree that there is (lets please not start the debate again). It seems that the people that are concerned about it are the ones who like to drag race, since that's the situation it most likely is needed. I don't drag my car, so it's not a big deal to me, and the only time I've felt it bog down is when TC and AH are activated.The reason people have removed their clutch pedal spring, is that the clutch has a non-linear feel to it. Unfortunately it doesn't offer much feedback and in my opinion, is the least communicative part of the car. It's not horrible though. I have no intention of removing the spring, and I think most people don't do it.
There's 2 springs on the pedal so you're pushing against one in the first half of travel, then all of a sudden, the geometry changes to where the other spring helps you push the pedal. It feels like some force is trying to push the pedal away from the center position, to whichever side it's closer to. It's kind of weird and takes a bit of getting used to.

The manual cars have a helper spring on the clutch pedal to reduce pedal effort. Removing this spring gives a better clutch feel, and requires a bit more clutch effort. For most people, this is a good change with no real downside. For a few, the extra effort may be fatiguing.
