Flogging, nope it's fully engaged.

Mad sb. I've lifted a few clutch pedals off the floor over the years. This clutch return spring, to me, seems like a recent addition to 3 pedal cars. And for a simple understanding, go lay down in the pedal area and push the clutch to the floor with your left hand. The spring rotates and elongates. The spring is helps to hold it against the stop but after a short travel to the floor it begins to rotate in the opposite direction to help in moving the pedal to the floor.
Yeah, i did some googling last night and found the M3 articles and a few others... I guess i always assumed the spring was just there to pull the pedal up and ADD to the pedal effort.

Some cars use a delay valve in the actual clutch master cylinder to slow engagement. Evo 8's and 9's did for sure.. it was a spring loaded bleed valve between the pressure line and the master cylinder body.

I may give this a shot and see how i like it, assuming it is reversible.
