clutch question

The washer idea is great that spring is solid.
My question is why remove it I don't understand how removing that spring will get the pedal to return to correct position.
I was able to use a longer adjustment rod and it helped some but when pedal is pressed to floor you can gear a grinding sound at a loss here.

That spring helps pull the pedal to the floor. When you have a pressure plate that is heavy, it will help. The newer design clutch ( the one with all the fingers) don't need the extra help to depress it.

I ask myself this same question but I have since removed the spring and the pedal is a little stiffer but not unbearable. It is necessary to remove it with that style clutch.
