Dude you guys want to feel pussy clutch.

Go into a frs and step on the clutch.

The scions clutch is super soft and retarded. It feels like nothing. I thought the 370z was soft lol. The frs is on another level

Zoren 370

I do not understand why so much fuz about the clutch feel on the Z. I find it perfectly fine never had any issues with it nor have the desire to change the clutch spring to make it softer.

Try driving a GT3 and then lets talk about clutch feel at the end of the day you will have calf muscles as big as loaf of bread.

missing the point. it's not to make the clutch softer, it's to remove the distortion from the return spring. the pedal return feels too linear from clutch-in to out while clutch spring itself is not.

i suppose if one's not driven too many other MT cars this might feel 'normal' to them, but atleast to me, it is not. that helper spring needs to be removed/replaced to feel like a real MT clutch.

^Exactly. I actually didn't take the spring out until 2 years into it. I was perfectly fine with it(I just got used to it). But after I took it out, it was like finding an old friend. I instinctively remembered this was how it's suppose to feel like.

Maybe I'm weird, I thought the spring mod made it feel like **** cause of the slop and free play up top.

It made the clutch points more predictable so you know when it grabs but the ridiculous amount if pedal sloppiness turned me off.

Basically I took it off, now I drive stock and completely forget how bad I use to think it was. I got use to it, it takes time

The sti clutch is so much better, I had a 2005
