Welp, just did this today along with the clutch pedal adjustment. You can definitely feel where the engagement point is now. Another recommend for this little mod.
I think I'll be playing with the clutch pedal adjustment a bit tomorrow. The friction point is a bit too close to the ground for my tastes when set slightly below the brake pedal. I'm sure this is all personal preference...

How To: Free Clutch Spring Removal in 15 Minutes - A must do for manual trans!
Quote:
Best I can explain is the first inch or so of travel is very very loose. As in a could push the pedal in about in inch with no more than my finger. The pedal resistance progressively increases as the pedal travels down further. But it starts out with zero resistance. The pedal wouldn't snap back to the very top if your foot slipped off while it was compressed. Interesting. I didn't know that would help get rid of the looseness at the beginning of the travel.

Hmmmm.... I have no play in my clutch pedal. At top position it is resting against the cruise control switch which takes out the slop.

How To: Free Clutch Spring Removal in 15 Minutes - A must do for manual trans!
Complete...now time for a test drive.
A hammer helped remove spring after stud was removed Mid drive first impression. Engagement more predictable. Clutch travel feeling very nice. Almost feels like previous aftermarket clutches I have had in the past. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by vvtlift; 04-10-2016 at 01:02 PM. |

So I just did this mod.It's a heavier feel which I like but I still feel like it's missing something in the way of feed back.an improvement but I was hoping for more I guess. Still good for a free mod

Just did this mod along with adjusting the pedal height last night and so far I'm loving it. The only problem I have is the top end of the pedal travel is kind of "spongy" but I'm sure I can adjust that out by tinkering with the pedal a bit more.
Oh, and the OP says be careful not to lose the E-clip... well, being the rebel that I am, I lost the E-clip. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement? Now that the spring is out the clevis the pin holds on doesn't do anything, right? I assume if the pin were to fall out I wouldn't suffer any sort of catastrophic clutch failure leading to a fiery death. |

Can we do this without adjusting the clutch engagement mod?

Yes, the spring may be removed independently.

Secondly, no, no catastophic failure, but it wont be as secure should you decide to re-install the spring. |

Some people will remove the spring and then put everything back together, without the spring. I simply took everything off completely and put it in a ziploc bag; the clevis and pin don't really do anything anymore once the spring is gone. I wouldn't worry too much about losing it unless you plan to put it back in the future.

How To: Free Clutch Spring Removal in 15 Minutes - A must do for manual trans!

Exactly what I did. I just tossed all the loose parts in a small ziplock bag. The part where the spring attaches and the pin goes through just dangled there for a year until I decided to put the spring back in. Didn't effect anything or get in the way. And if you do decide to put the spring back in you could probably find a proper sized e clip at a hardware store. |

I wound up messing with it some last night and took out some of the play. I had adjusted the rod in a little too much. Adjusting it to bring the pedal "back up" a little, putting a little pressure against the rod but not enough to actually push it any, got it feeling much more solid. I've still got a little buffer but it feels like most other manuals I have driven in the past. It's definitely taking some getting used to since I don't have all that travel before it disengages... I absolutely love how much feel I have in the clutch with the spring removed. It feels a bit heavier, but not bad and is way more communicative. |
