So, I was going through a few sites knocking out a few things on my wishlists and happen to come across a replacement clutch spring on one of the more popular sites that helps in the same way of us removing ours, but is just a different amount of spring-rate. (200lb-in stock, their's is 95lb-in). But what they stated in their advert interested me...
Most owners fail to realize the prolonged effects of simply taking out your factory OE spring and not replacing it with another spring. By negating your factory clutch assist spring you will notice chatter/NVH from your clutch pedal. Your clutch pedal will never fully return to stock position without any assist spring, and over time your slave cylinder may begin leaking due to constant pressure on its seals from the clutch pedal not returning to the stock position.
Now, my concern is I drive my car a lot (25k+ miles) and i've had numerous clutch issues spoken about on these forums. Mostly with Ace clutches (two of them in a row), but there has always been this squeak right before the clutch is about to go out. I always thought it was due to the disks getting down to the rivets on the clutch as they really ate themselves up. Anyways, interested in what maybe Van or a few others may have in regards to input on this.
Am I better replacing the stock spring with a different spring than just having it removed?
Is removing the spring completely though it feels more linear and prevents my clutch pedal from sticking on full throttle/quick shifting doing damage to my clutch/throwout?
Is their advertisement just a ploy to get us to purchase?
Thanks.
