Removing clutch spring on pedal

mullinax95 no its not because the pressure plate has more pressure than stock. noramally it is because the use of a diaphram style pressure plate or hydrolic type slave cylinder. diaphram clutches normally can have the same or more clamping force with less pedal effort. therefore this causes the clutch pedal to return to at rest position slow, or in my case not at all.
by the way thanx for the trick with washers im going to try that tonight.

Thanks... I didn't really know why but I figured it had something to do with it.

All I know is I removed mine because Wayne at Brewers told me to remove it and that's why I did. The clutch is actually easier to push in and hold now than it was with the stock pressure plate and the overcenter spring.

I did the washers in the spring trick and it was STILL A PAIN IN THE *** TO GET OUT! I packed 6 or 7 washers in it and took a short pry bar to it and it finally popped off! I just about got my grinder out and was going to cut it off but at the time I didn't know how my clutch was going to feel with the diaphragm and might use it again. Those washers are still stuck in the spring from when the spring came out the spring collapsed. It has a lot of pressure on it! Good Luck!
