Did mine today. Had a bit of trouble pulling the pin out after I got the retainer off. Ended up scaring the pin from the pliers and had to take the grinding wheel to the pin to smooth it back out in order to get it back into place. The feel is much better to thought.

It took quite a bit of googling to find this thread, but I'm glad I did!
First off, I want to say many thanks to the posters in this thread that have done the legwork and research to figure out the characteristics of the stock spring. It appears the dimensions are still the same for my 2012 application. Unfortunately, it appears I missed the boat by a few weeks (months?). I recently bought a G37 6mt sedan. Only had it for a few days, but can't get over how vague the clutch is. Removed the spring which resulted in much better feel. Given that it's a new car, i'm not to thrilled with leaving it out altogether. So, to remedy the issue and save a few bucks, I started a group buy over at the myg37.com site - For Sale Group Buy - Clutch Pedal Assist Spring for 6MT - MyG37 |

^^Did you bench bleed the master? Did the clutch behave like this before it broke/wore out, before the repairs? If it's a completely dry system, you need to thoroughly bleed it.

^^Next time you guys use this procedure, snap a pic. I'm having a hard time visualizing. I just pressed the pedal all the way to the floor and was able to easily get the bottom pin in.

^ Dont think I'll be taking the spring back out again - but basically the pin felt too big for the hole (thats what she said). So I had to force it a bit by putting one side of the vice grip on the back of the pin and the other side on the hosing for the spring and squeezing it in there.

Just finished replacing the spring. Big thanks to Vaughanabe13 for his DIY. It helped a lot.
I must say that this is the best mod ever. Nissan should use this spring standard on the 370Z. |
