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

I just removed my helper spring and it feels a million times better. So happy with this!

I removed my helper spring a few mins ago and took it for a test drive and the difference is awesome. I have only had my 370 for a few days and I kept messing up looking like a rookie at manual driving. I would still like to get the Century spring but I dont know if I want to buy four of them yet lol.

I finally had the new spring installed last week. Effort feels great and natural. It's definitely nice for fast and smooth engagement.

WOW...I finally got around to installing it today and, now, I am giggling like a little girl. The drive feels completely different and EASY!

Not sure if the 350 has one, i'm guessing not by the feel, but i know the 370 in the UK has this stupid spring as well.

^^With any clutch, you always want to have a small amount of play. This ensures the clutch is fully engaged when not depressed.
