Hey can i pick up the helper spring off mcmaster carr? Whats the dimensions. I pretty much just removed the factory spring for a while but there was too much play in the pedal so i put it back on. All these new cars are going with the "linear force clutch feel" i drove a 6 speed camaro yesterday and the clutch feel was non existent. Super terrible.

I don't have the details of the spring itself. Check out LMBMikeZ's thread: FS: Clutch Helper Springs!!!! Century Spring P/N 72577

After some looking around I have the spring specs.

OD = 1.100"
ID = 0.860"
uncompressed Length = 2.500"

The upgraded spring uses a 52 lb/in compression factor

I found a couple options under $10 that will fit with spring rates down to 38lbs/in

If you can find a better option than what's already been made I'd be interested in one. I need to take the one out that's in there and paint it yellow so that Nissan is none the wiser.
