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

The good news is that I found another spring after I realized the error that definitely does work. P/N 72577 at Century Spring is the winner 72577 - COMPRESSION SPRING - Part Characteristics | Century Spring Corp. The spring rate is roughly 20% of the stock spring and it feels very similar to running without the spring installed. The bad news is that you need to order 4 of them to meet their minimum order quantity.

Here are some pics of the Century spring


Stock is on the left, Century on the right

Add yourself to the list and when we hit 4 I'll order the century replacement spring. We'll do the transactions via Paypal if that works for everyone.
