Especially because if you depress the clutch pedal, there's even less room to operate

I used a smaller sized flat head and leveraged it against whatever is right there to help get it going through.

Pain in the ass getting the Clevis off the clutch pedal.

Note to future readers... Push the clevis towards the front of the car. If you try to remove it towards the rear of the car there's no space and it keeps just snapping itself back into place.

Wow. Just test drove. Huge difference. I love the clutch feel now! Doesnt feel like I'm shifting on eggshells anymore!!!

This along with the clutch pedal adjustment should be the first DIY you do.

I removed the spring as well, before seeing your post... same process. I didn't reassemble it, though, I just used a zip tie to secure the bottom part of the assembly up out of the way so it wouldn't vibrate or rattle.

I also adjusted the clutch pedal height, as described here. It seems to be a great combination, but I just have a small concern regarding the clutch grab. I posted here about it, hopefully someone can shed a little light on what I'm experiencing. I might just be crazy.

Thanks for the write up. I saw the mod in the original thread somewhere. The pedal feel is so much better. I cant believe 1 year I have been dailying this car without this mod. I hate myself for it.

Gonna give this a shot. I hate the goofy lightness of the stock clutch.

Although removing it is nice, the spring is NOT the main issue.
