[QUOTE="SSGMcIlwain, post: 16708264, member: 132381"] Don't do it for a couple of reasons. One, the orientation of assist spring in relation to the pedal causes a pendulum effect, where there is more effort required until you reach midpoint and then it becomes less as you fully engage. It is awkward and feedback is numbed. A lot of 13-14 owners have removed the assist spring for this reason (also because it contributes to the master slave cylinder's plastic lolipop exploding and eliminating the pedal's connection go the clutch.). Next, though they spent a ton of time R&Ding the new assembly, the structural supports are still just made out of plastic and are common failure points. Add in the assist spring which applies force on the clutch master's weakest point, and eventually you'll either break the master cylinder, the pedal assembly (which mounts the master cylinder), or both. I was lucky enough to do both, only a couple of weeks apart. Pedal assembly is only 6 screws and a clevis pin (bleeding and removing master cylinder also required but isn't difficult). The problem is access. I had to remove my driver's seat and even then I could only get one hand up inside at a time. If you drop something, it will roll under you. Oh, and while down there try not to swallow any brake fluid. Apparently, it is bad for you! The 2010 clutch upgrade on my 2007 was the best GT500 clutch I've driven. My stock '14 is almost last, but that position is held by my 07 stock clutch that chattered, locked you out of everything, and failed at 11k miles due to rust (TSB for early 07 due to metallic compound cutches not being lubricated during assembly). Im surprised there aren't any third party options for clutch assistance. [/QUOTE]
