I investigated the issue, and removed the only difference between my twin and literally every other car I had driven; The clutch pedal assist/return sprung. You are, of course, welcome to go through the process of putting the spring back in to verify exactly what effect it has on pedal sensation transfer, but I stand by my statement that this is the single greatest, easiest drivability modification one can perform on their new (to them, at least) twin.

But at the same time, a number of people are going to have more desire to sit on an anthill than mess around with their clutch hydraulics on a brand new car. Especially given that the setup does involve increased pedal effort that discourages a stiffer pressure plate, essentially nixing any plans one may have for better torque capacity. Personally, I'm not planning on increasing clutch stiffness, but I also deal with apocalypse grade traffic five days a week, and would rather have less feel over more stiffness. I've done Atlanta with a heavy duty clutch and you couldn't pay me to do it again. You've made a solid case for your route, and I acknowledge that it's going to be the preferred route for some people. I'd just ask that you relax on posting it repeatedly, and stop repeatedly insisting that the clutch spring removal is negligible, regardless of how eloquently you word it.

Reinstalling the OEM cylinder would also be much easier than reinstalling that spring. I think I've advocated my point to the best of my ability so, unless anyone has any questions, I'll politely take a seat. Thanks for understanding.

Seems like this whole debate can be summed up easily.
Good - Stock Better - Spring removal Best - Master change And, when the same question/concern gets asked 1,000 times, then the same recommendation is given 1,000 times. If people bothered to read a whole thread (or even any thread in some cases) then people would not keep repeating their recommendations. The guys that are here all the time may think something is repeated too often but to the new guys that don't bother to read before they type, it is all new and shiny.

Now this is all subjective of course. Some people love the stock setup! |

Just did it. Takes getting re use to again, I think I should re adjust my clutch height more up again, I set it a **** hair below the break before just I think I should do it a **** hair above it. Smoother shifts though. Awesome so far.

Great mod, definitely a must-do. Picked up the car yesterday and almost stalled a few times because clutch seems vague. Now its much better.
Thanks to everyone for the info. |

Broken record post - super easy and much better feels great.
It very hard to find a free DIY mod that has this much of a impact. Definitely adjust the clutch pedal height while down there as well.

I'm gonna reinstall the spring, but what kinda grease should I use? Can I use Lucas red and tacky #2 high temp grease? (that's something thst was suggested to use to lubricate thr clutch fork as well).

They're dead for me as well, the text is still helpful though.
I think there is enough info for my install (once I bring her out of storage).
