Replacement Clutch

Can anyone tell me why when I let the clutch out as it get further up it gets harder to hold your foot on
If the O/C spring has been removed, then that is a stumper....... unless your pedal-ratio is wrong; You do know about pedal-ratio right?
There was one ratio for the wussy slantys and another for everything else. And IIRC, there was a different fork ratio for the BBs as well. Go to Brewers performance, where he has a pretty good description of the various parts.
