Seems to require less effort almost - i notice the difference when the clutch is traveling back up, it does not kick and push its way up and you just have to guide it gently back up (feeling the points that it engages) rather than fighting to keep it down and from springing back up so quickly. Its easier to drive than the stock... no idea why they went w/ such a stiff spring.

I did mine months ago and would never think about going back. That being said, have any of you gone to the dealer for service with that spring in? did they notice or say anything about it

I'd say if you go in for anything trans related, have some sort of spring in there (be it OE or lighter). Anything else, I doubt they'll care or look. I know out here manuals are rather rare, so not much of an issue.

Anyways, it takes all of 30 seconds to pop the spring in/out.

There is no way I could get a hold of the helper spring now right?

Took this off today, great little mod! How many of you left the whole piece out all together instead of replacing the spring?

Sorry guys. I sold the last one few weeks ago. I may do another buy later in spring/summer if there is still demand.
