Yes. The stupid spring that makes the clutch easy to press but removes all feedback.

It's so easy, a caveman could do it.

Couldn't agree more.

I removed the entire assembly and the clutch feel SIGNIFICANTLY improved. It feels exactly like my Honda Civic Si now. You can feel pressure from the pressure plate - it gets rid of that annoying stutter/shaking when you let the clutch out too fast. It even eliminates clutch chatter now since you know exactly where the engagement point is.

It takes all of 3 minutes to do, just need needle nose pliers and a flat head screwdriver.
