Over center spring

I have driven a few cars pals own with the clutch types that require that spring be removed.

They wanted a second opinion.....

Mine agreed with theirs, they suck.

Can you return it and get an OE type?

I would.
I'll get Dan Brewers opinion. Not doubting you a bit, but I've got nerve damage to my left knee.
Already traded in my 5 speed truck for an auto. Hate to give up shifting the dart also.
