Default something broke!

While I was shifting into 1st at a red light, this fell from the clutch area.
i think this piece helps the clutch to 'spring back' at the top? I didnt notice much of a different feel.

IS this the spring that some people have been taking off?
do i need it?
etc....

Yep that looks like the clutch pedal assist spring...it just makes the clutch easier to push in. Not an uncommon part failure.

It also ensures that the clutch pedal returns to its full upright position so that the valving in the clutch master cylinder can work properly.

But to be sure, I need a close up photo.

The picture is a little vague.
