You don't need a spring in there. In the time it took you took you to type that post, you would be halfway done getting the spring out.

I am confused, changing the spring makes the engagement point lower, but removing it all together only changes the feel?

no from what ive learned the spring thing doesnt effect the clutch point at all the spring just makes it so that it doesnt spring back up as hard and allows you to feel your clutch point better. if you take it out it leaves a little bit of space due to the spring not being there and the clutch is empty for about 1/2inch ish? and adding the spring with less springyness only fills in that gap

From my understanding, changing the spring or removing it completely only affects feel. Take a look at how the spring is attached to the pedal. I don't see how it has any effect on the engagement. I thought that was a separate DIY.

And takes out a bit of the feel you're looking for. Take it out altogether. The bit of free play at the top doesn't hurt anything, and you'll forget it's there in a week. Take it out and give it a shot before you spend a lot of time trying to source a softer spring.

You are probably right. I thought the DIY for the engagement point was the spring change. It was a while since I read that one.

I tried to find the DIY for adjusting the engagement point, but searching from a phone sucks. The spring is just to make the pedal softer and more numb for the people who probably shouldn't have bought the manual in the first place.

I've driven stick for 10yrs. Both of my Sentra's had a very responsive clutch, along with both of my mustangs and my ranger. The Z is the first car that I have come across that had a mute friction point. It was all based off of sound not feel. So I humbly think that your statement is a little off from fact.

Chuck33079 07-17-2013 07:07 AM

Really? Which part of it? The entire reason Nissan put a spring in the assembly was to take out any vibration or shaking of the pedal, and make it easier to push. If either of those is an issue for a potential buyer, I'd question why they wanted the manual in the first place.
