Have you removed/replaced the clutch spring?

didymus · 10-25-2012, 07:53 PM

Just curious..

binary0x01 · 10-25-2012, 07:56 PM

Replaced the whole clutch pedal assembly with this one:

370Z & G37 Pedal Assemblies - *RJM Performance.com

add that into the poll

Good point, but don't seem to be able to edit the poll

I replaced it. Felt the difference for a couple days, newness wore off, feels like normal now. Worth it? IDK, not really.

I changed it, didn't like it, went back to stock. Currently I getting a South Bend Stage 3 clutch (with all the goodies) installed, I'll play with the spring again to see how it feels with the new clutch.

Changed it out - thought it helped a bit. I think I'm just used to driving the car now. I've had the car about 2 months and it's still not super smooth to drive (granted, this is my first stick shift car).

Except, for $20, it's worth trying.

How do you like this unit? Been thinking about getting one myself.

Oh. And for the poll, i changed my spring. It's a little different, but not drastically different.

I like it a lot, aside from the F.I. CBE, it is the best upgrade I've done. With Swift springs a close 3rd.

nope, not me

alcheng · 10-26-2012, 04:44 PM

I am one of those 3 who only removed the spring...

Like it at the beginning cos the pedal feels much better, now I got used to it, they do have a bit, tiny bit of play, but it doesn't affect anything after getting used to it.

Dsevast · 10-26-2012, 08:40 PM

I replaced the spring, then had some weird creaking noise every time I hit the clutch so now I rock no spring, and have the helper spring in my tool box. I would never put the stock spring back in unless I took the car back to the stealership for some warranty issue.

didymus · 10-27-2012, 05:23 PM

More replaced it than I was expecting

Baer383 · 10-27-2012, 06:28 PM

I just replace mine the other day,it makes it more noticeable where the clutch starts to grab,I like it best cheap mod to date.
