Maybe a good idea to pull the pin once a year and apply some white lithium grease?

G'z. You guys are going to butcher and destroy the bracket/clevis that way!

You're supposed to unload the spring by depressing the pedal. The pin slide right out with minimal effort.

^^Pedal has to be to the floor before the spring will come out. You need to unload the spring first.

^^That's why most of us replace the stock spring with the weaker one. Similar feel, no slop.

I'll add in my 2¢ worth too :). I do agree on the throttle response - the immediate off idle seems a bit lagged. That can probably be fixed via programming. I recall on the motorcycle's...

I'd say the effort is similar to my late 90's camaro. No idea what the new camaro's/vettes feel like. Definitely not like hyundai or a vw. I don't even notice the marginal extra effort required...

^^You don't need to press the pedal to remove the clip. Only to remove the pin. You are right about needing to be a contortionist though. If you're a big guy, it will be difficult.

My first time doing this I had the same issue. I lost the C clip from the top pin behind the fuse box. Tried retrieving it with one of those telescoping magnet tools but no luck.

If you like torture you can. Mine got lost behind the plastic panels. Not fun taking them off to retrieve it. All you need is the bottom pin removed.

Wiggle it while the pedal is depressed to the floor. It should come loose.

^^Won't fit. You take the OD - 2x(wire size) to get the ID. You end up with something like .78" which is not enough to fit that hat into (that's at the top of the spring).

I thought there was a rather pronounced difference - both with no spring and with the weaker spring (as compared to stock), in both the down stroke and up stroke. You have less assist pushing down...

I haven't read of the Z/G design having this port, but for added peace of mind, most of us are replacing the spring with a weaker one rather than eliminating it altogether. This takes care of the...

^^With any clutch, you always want to have a small amount of play. This ensures the clutch is fully engaged when not depressed.

I'd say if you go in for anything trans related, have some sort of spring in there (be it OE or lighter). Anything else, I doubt they'll care or look. I know out here manuals are rather rare, so...

I do wonder why they went with such a stiff spring. Maybe too many complaining that the clutch requires too much effort.

^^Next time you guys use this procedure, snap a pic. I'm having a hard time visualizing. I just pressed the pedal all the way to the floor and was able to easily get the bottom pin in.

^^Did you bench bleed the master? Did the clutch behave like this before it broke/wore out, before the repairs? If it's a completely dry system, you need to thoroughly bleed it.
