Oh, OK, so the spring makes the clutch easier to push down .. ??
I'll stick with the spring ....... cause my old leg likes easy.......
All that stiff clutch talk reminds me of when I was a kid, back-on-the-farm.
We had these big ol tractors that the foot clutch lever worked the pressure plate directly (well, yes it had a TOB in between).
That tractor had a big, hairy clutch (off to the left side, where you would expect to see it) and for me (as a young boy) to push the clutch in, I had to use both feet & legs and wrap my arms around the steering wheel, then push like hell THEN reach over and pop the transmission out of gear.
Stopping wasn't all that bad, but starting off, pulling a ground working implement, took not only strength but finesse.
For that reason ....... I just don't like stuff clutches.
THE END
(I get a kick, today, reading how some new drivers are having a hard time with a clutch and a manual transmission)
