Hmm, had to read that a few times before i stopped thinking you were crazy :)

However, proper control of the clutch can't be attained with the heel always on the floor, but you're right in that the ankle is supposed to play a part in normal clutch use.

I also agree with your thoughts over correct use being able to control it well, however, if you analyse it during use, unless you're fully concentrating, you do end up with a slightly jerky experience if you're not fully on top of it.

Well, there are times when you have to lift the foot...but for the most part,
I just don't find operating the clutch pedal to be a big deal. It does require a lot of finesse..but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Personally, I wouldn't bother with any mod that swaps/deletes the spring..but to each his own.

Clutch Pedal Position Adjustment
 

Finally saw the image I needed from Stino to explain this.

The image is of the stock clutch assembly.

Loosen clevis lock nut,
Rotate Clutch Master Cylinder Rod (into clevis lowers clutch engagement point)
Tighten clevis lock nut.

Be sure to support the clevis with a wrench when loosening and tightening the lock nut so you don't bend any of the sheetmetal around it.

Keep the engagement at least 2" off the floor to ensure full disengagement for shifting.

Also... Do this at your own risk, I'm just providing information on what I did, not a recommendation on what you should do.

I don't know but i drove a nismo stock and i had no issue with the clutch at all

bookmarked for if I get a Z :D

I'm so going to try this when I get home. It's ridiculous that I look like I don't know how to drive stick when I've been doing so for ten years, lol.

I hope this helps out.

I drove my Z today but just 5min lol and the clutch was fine for me. hmm

Just drove it after doing this... Oh my what a beautiful difference.

Was a bit difficult to get the pins out, but I got them.

I picked mine up today directly from Century Springs and installed it. Much better feel and clutch engagement. Wish I would have done this a long time ago.

I don't know. It is fine for me with my Z now

who sales this springs? i want to make a purchase on one.

here ya go

I ordered this : http://www.the370z.com/drivetrain-en...n-72577-a.html (still in mail)

But today removed the spring completely and on my god... Holy **** of a difference....

:tup: That's how I'm running it: No spring. Def. a better difference.

I know this is an old thread, but it deserves a re.read.

Removing the spring is THE best mod ever. I,ve been driving stick shift since 1970 and never had the crazy lurching as with the Z.
Spring gone, perfect smoothness!!!!!!

ANd the higher effort is barely noticeable, and cruise control works perfect.
