Funny, I just got to driving the car again from winter storage. I kept saying, "what the hell is wrong with this clutch?" especially in 1st gear. Its been 5 years now and I still feel like a newb in 1st with this car. I am going to give this at try right away.

So what is the consensus, just remove both springs vs. buying a different spring?

I would like of like one as well just to compare between no spring and the new spring. Let me know if you find someone selling and I will do the same...

Also, you can buy online but its a minimum of $40 plus shipping, which is why I assume people were group buying...
