On top of being an incredibly frustrating install, the benefits don't seem worth it. To anyone considering this part; don't buy it unless you have real issues with the stock clutch feel. I didn't mind the stock clutch, so although it feels a bit different, doesn't feel better at all for me. |

I also disconnecting the clevis pin from the other side to give some extra play while putting the pin in. After that, I sat the spring on it's perch and pointed the assembly upward while pulling the clutch forward (toward the steering wheel) and then setting the top part of the spring holder-whatever-it's-called in place, then pivoted the assembly down in place to put the pin in while wiggling the spring assembly so it went in. |

For me, i like the feel of the pedal fully returning vs the little slop left around if you were the remove the spring entirely. Sorry you guys dont like it, but for me its worth it with the slave cylinder swap. I dont think the spring would be worth it by itself. Edit: be mindful that i went springless back to spring, then mtec spring. I was able to feel a difference between the oem and mtec |

This all speaks to my rantings in the spring removal and clutch adjustment threads. They're nice but don't address the root cause of the vagueness in the oem setup.
Don't feel bad, @ck-GT86. Everyone has a different preference. It's just great that we have these options. For those installing either the MTEC or OEM spring, remember, the spring is at it's loosest when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. Now, whether or not it's feasible to work in that position is another story. I haven't reinstalled mine yet so,

I drove @Ultramaroon's car around the block. This convinced me to also do the mod. He said parts only cost about $35ish so why not right?

I think I need to bleed my slave.
I had my wife helping me last time and it didn't go so well.

The timing, making sure no air is in the system.

Speed bleeders make it so much easier! It's a one person job instead of two. Part # is SB1010-SS

If both parties aren't on the same page it's quite possible. I made a big deal about proper bleeding in the instructions specifically because of past struggles with a less motivated partner.
