most people says with the clutch spring removed there is less a effort required for the leg, i personally couldn't tell a difference..the spring is actually there to help you push down the clutch.....so if you are looking to not "shoot back at you" the spring will not help you with that..just try to pop the spring out at the 2 holes on the sides NOT THE WHITE U CLIPS...It will only take you a few seconds....

Wow my clurtch is way too easy to push to the point where there is no sense of when the clutch is starting to grab. I was under the impression that removing the spring would make the pedal a little more firm.

Took my spring off with a flat head screwdriver, less effort to press the clutch in and the feel is ALOT better.

What about the problem people have reported at high RPMs of the clutch peddle sticking to the floor? Will this aggravate it?
