[QUOTE="Softballer77, post: 15340537, member: 151898"] 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...

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. [FONT=Roboto Condensed] [/FONT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Roboto Condensed] [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
