Did the sound go away after the mechanic zip-tied it? I should do the same with mine regardless. I feel kind of stupid for not thinking of that.
The take-up feature of the helper spring is the main reason I regret removing mine. It's an integral part of the clutch operating mechanism. It is also not the source of frustration with the stock clutch's vagueness.

The noise still comes on and off. I'm thinking it's the loose end of the zip tie flinging and hitting the metal. I'll trim it and check again.
The reason I'm not concerned about the TOB is that the noise completely goes away when I press the clutch.
Regarding the spring, I saw somewhere someone measured the pedal force with and without the spring. Initially it makes it easier to push, but as you push further, the pedal force increases. So for the initial push (cases of accidentally riding the clutch), won't it be better not to have the spring?
