...the MTEC spring is twenty times that price  ...for a spring that seems just like it has less load than the stock one? If I wanted to get rid of that small amount of travel at the top (the "play")...could not I just get a spring with the same dimensions, but with just a far less amount of resistance? So, just enough to push the pedal up, but not really enough to change the feel of being springless?
Would that possibly get rid of any clutch drag that people are vaguely saying might happen? |
You can get rid of the play in about 3 minutes by adjusting the clutch switch, so that isn't a good reason to buy a replacement spring IMO. I'm not convinced the weight of the pedal will wear your clutch either.
However if you can find a spring that is the right dimensions, no reason not to use it to lighten the pedal effort. I've got the mitec spring now and really like it (with a different slave cylinder though), but no reason not to experiment with other springs if you want a different feel. Just post up here with the results so we can all try them too!
