Personally I think it's a lot harder to develop the muscle memory and identify the feel of the clutch with that stupid spring creating an artificial feel.

I drive in plenty of rush hour stop and go traffic and not having the clutch spring is a total nonissue.

I've been driving manuals since they were called "standards" and even I get the herky jerkys on shifting every so often in this car. Don't overthink it just let yourself get a feel for it.
Awesome... I'm thinking of doing the spring removal now. Did you do the clutch pedal adjustment as well? Or just the spring removal?

I have a little free play in the clutch pedal since doing the clutch pedal adjustment. Will this make the free play even larger?

Thanks!
