hi Mike,

How do I go about order the spring? (Sorry, did not read all 30 pages of this thread).

Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting one of these. So it actually makes the clutch pedal alot smoother and easier to press or does it make it a lot stiffer and harder to press in?

3GorZ 08-09-2014 11:06 PM

Spring installed
 
Got the spring installed today. Took a bit time for me but the clutch feel better. Here are some pictures to shared:

Just got it yesterday. That was snail mail for sure. I'll let you know how it works out for me.

LMBmikeZ 10-30-2014 11:13 AM

:tup: awesome glad you got it!

Sorry it took so long to get to you though. Some states take a lot longer then others for shipping.

Brad370 11-02-2014 11:41 AM

The install only took about 10 minutes and was super easy. The pedal feels like it takes a little bit more force now, but I can feel the clutch engagement better. It also feels a little loose for the first inch (that's what she said) like there's no resistance at all, but then it feels normal after that.

MicntaeG35 11-02-2014 07:30 PM

So I'm still a little confused on what this actually does? Lol

FS: Clutch Helper Springs!!!! Century Spring P/N 72577
 
So I think I'm going to to uninstall this. The ends of the spring are very roughly cut with many sharp edges. This prevents the spring from easily spinning as it compresses and decompresses. The result is a pretty loud 'spring' noise when I use the clutch pedal.

Update: I took the spring out and used 220 grit sandpaper to smooth the cut surface and round any sharp edges. Then I applied a small amount of WD-40 to the ends of the spring and the pieces it rests against. So far it's back to being quiet.

happy to hear you have reduced the squeak.

I haven't heard many complaints about this, maybe the sliding piece that is inside the spring is low on the white grease auto manufacturers love to use. (anyone will know what I am talking about if they installed the spring)

Received the spring in the mail today. Thanks for the fast shipping and quick response Mike!

xpenziv 11-13-2014 06:38 PM

Thanks Mike! Received and installed it yesterday. I had been driving a week without a spring at all and the intelligent key light was coming on. Dealer scanned it yesterday and said there was a clutch sensor error that may be causing the key light. They cleared the codes and sent me home. I installed the new spring last night and had them scan it again tonight. Still no light or code. Coincidence, hmmmm, we may never know.

Mine has been installed. Very easy install (for a hubby). I no longer have to "think" about shifting. Much better.

Thx Lmb!:tup:

LMBmikeZ 11-15-2014 01:07 AM

So.... does this make the pedal less stiff? I can't find a definitive answer.
