It's not as easy as removing but after doing both remove and install this is a 3 minute installation which many have had issues with. Just follow these steps.

Have some lighting so you can see the spring bushing holes and peddle slot,towels to lay rib cage on like the sill plate or seat to protect your ribs, tool that can pull with one hand no bigger then a screw driver in length/size ( best if it has a angled head). Fully retract seat & steering wheel. Set steering wheel at highest point.

It doesn't take much pulling pressure to engage into peddle bushing. Remove floor rubber mats for comfort on the elbows.

This works:

1-Clutch in normal position (up) install spring by compressing with fingers so it just dangles in both bushing slots. Before installing good idea to test the spring first by compressing using one hand on the springs coil sides and you'll see it takes very little pressure.

2- Push clutch peddle to the floor with one hand. Spring will follow clutch peddle from behind bushing slot on peddle for engagement.

3- Spring will now be sitting behind the engagement bushing on the clutch peddle about 1/4" or so with peddle extended to floor.

4- Using a tool that has a grabbing or pulling ability (I used an old modified 90 degree bent hex screw driver) pull the spring forward and down. It takes little pressure to this.

5- It will engage on it's own. This took me about 3 minutes.

 

Is there any issues with leaving it off? I had read in another thread that you need to occasionally pull the clutch pedal to the full up position to make the Clutch Master Cylinder cycle properly.

 

I read the same thing. I haven't heard anyone compain that has had them off. I found my pedal going to the floor and staying there unlike my C5 Z06 which had over 100 passes on it. Heat was my issue boiling off moisture in the system going spongy on me. So I insulated the hydraulic clutch line on my C6 Z06 which is only 1" away from the catalytic converter (drivers side) and change my fluid all the time in the clutch reservoir. I also insulated the two clutch hydraulic lines on the firewall. No problems since. I figure if GM felt they didn't need to add the spring they would have left it off to save $$ so your point is well taken by me as well.

 

Any chance you know the part # for the C6 spring?

 

For the '07 the part# is 10376347. Not sure if its the same for all years or not
