I wouldn't mind getting in on this spring business (pending a cost estimate and verification that it actually fits and works properly).

Interested in the spring, if I can't find something locally.

:rofl2: I don't see how the linear feel is easier though.

I think I trashed my C-shaped dealios though, lol.

Fixed. C-shaped dealios ftw

Springs are cheap. I'll get in on this action.

Motion for them making a spring 'kit' that includes 3 or 4 springs of varying force. Say 25%, 50%, and 75% of OEM spring force.

haha ok well they should have some news for me next week, I will find out about a few different spring rates but initially I asked for 75% softer.

I found a softer spring that somewhat fits at my local Ace hardware. The diameter was good, but it was too long so I had to shorten it. (EOM left, Ace Right)

The problem of cutting it short is that I cannot get the cut end nice and flat. Look at the non-cut end or at the OEM spring and you will see how the end of the spring is bend back and ground off. I didn't have the proper equipment to replicate this. So when I put it back into the assembly it sits a bit crooked, it tilts to one side a bit:

Once it's all installed it looks OK, but I am a bit worried about the long term effect of the crooked spring:

So esfoutheen, put me on the list for a proper replacement spring, with nice flat ends. My hacked up one works for now, but I would like to have one that properly fits for the long run.


Bottom line is: swapping the stiff OEM helper spring for a (much) softer one does improve the clutch feel significantly and it takes care of the slack at the top that would otherwise be there when you take the spring out altogether.

Yeah I had a feeling anything I found at a store would need to be cut and then might not sit right, glad it's working for now though.

That's awesome. Rep for you.

Sounds like a no-brainer mod, I'll sign up for one too!

I just took the spring out and left the assy in there, it makes no difference as far as lateral support goes since the pedal still moves sideways a bit. I want in on the softer spring please :)
