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

Magic Bus · 10-12-2012, 03:37 PM

Did this mod with the spring from LMBmikeZ. For only $20 shipped, it's worth doing. It will not make you a pro driver but it does increase clutch feel.

However it's not as easy to do as some people say. First of all, you need to be a contortionist to get under there, press the clutch with one hand and remove the C clip & pin with the other. I couldn't do it.

So I got a dowel and a block of wood, depressed the clutch with it and wedged it against the drivers seat. Now I had 2 hands free. I removed the bottom C clip but couldn't remove the pin. So I replaced the C clip and proceeded to the top C clip & pin. Fortunately that one came off fairly easily and as others have said, all you need to do is remove one pin.

One last thing, make sure you have good lighting to put under there before starting the job.
