Clutch pedal too soft/no feel? Remove the helper spring!

Installed mine today, def a pita. Took about 20-30 min, I only removed the bottom pin set. It's a cool mod, shifting feels better, not as "overboosted" as before.

Is there interest in another group buy for replacement springs? I missed out on the first one but found a spring supplier that has suitable softer springs that will work. The pricing is much better with higher quantity but I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of these.

nevermind. I found a single at Fastenal (p/n 0166722) that should do the trick

UPDATE (08/11/11): This Fastenal spring doesn't fit correctly so don't buy it for this....

Good find. Let us know if it fits and works correctly.

Installed the new spring today. Certainly is an improvement on the action of the clutch pedal.

Easy removal of the lower pin. Used a pair of vice-grips on the head of the pin to ease it out, prevented the pin from falling behind the kick panel. Used the vice-grips to re-install pin, again no issues.

Curious as to the results.

Worked great! as said earlier, clutch feel has improved. Recommend this mod to everyone.

Ya I would love to get my hands on one I was under the impression there were some left over and pm'd esfourteen but no reply.

esfourteen · 08-11-2011, 11:01 AM

Yeah I got flooded with requests sorry, I might have an extra but I had to wait as 2 people in Texas did not receive theres and I wanted to make sure they got another one if it was lost.

Okay well let me know when you get a chance. Also will this be a good upgrade with an upgraded clutch? I have a JWT clutch.

LMBmikeZ · 08-11-2011, 12:31 PM

Ya there was a lot of people requesting one not just v8killer!

Also we are still waiting to her how others made out with the other springs they had found! Anyone have any luck?
