I forgot to mention that I have them. They do allow/introduce a resonant peak at around 2500 RPM but it's only noticeable (to me) when holding the engine at that speed in neutral. I've never watched the engine/trans assembly while exciting that mode. Hopefully there are no long-term detrimental effects because they feel great otherwise.

It’s never bothered me but I may change the clutch master with the stiffer clutch.

Is "MTEC" code for "I removed the OEM clutch spring thingy"?

Oh there's a spring there for sure! I'm just not sure if mine is OEM or that MTEC one.

OK. My OEM spring is gone with no replacement. Still not the old fashion hard pedal but closer to what I was used to.

You sound like just the candidate for my clutch slave mod. It addresses the root of the issue for us clutch snobs. I wish I hadn't lost the pedal-side perch for my assist spring or I would've reinstalled it long ago.

Honestly, I was peer-pressured into doing it. I don't know that I see that much of a difference but I'm a big oaf so who knows.
