ive not had a chance to pull out that spring yet. wish those springs were readily available... maybe i should just use a rubber band.

What's the cost for one of those springs? Can I get one myself? I'm such a wimp I might not even want to do the mod in fear of me damaging something haha
it's kind of a back breaker ordeal under there but im sure you can manage. ive not done mine (yet?).

yah, the Z's clutch pedal action is very linear. which kinda throws us oldskool MT drivers off. it's nowhere near as bad as the old STI clutches where it felt like a springy rubberband.
