As you push the pedal down, the arrangement of the spring and levers means that it starts pushing down with you to make the clutch pedal much lighter.

If you adjust the pedal downward, you could put it in a position such that the spring is always pushing down, like a foot resting on the pedal.

That explains the horrible dead feeling about half way through the pedal travel. Thanks guys.
