UPDATE....

The Home Depot spring was way to weak and IMHO did not give enough push

From what I have read, the factory spring is around 52 lbs/inch spring rate and the Home Depot one is ~25 lb/in.

I got a used replacement one from itsnotanova (Search for him on this forum) for $15 shipped and it is perfect! I did find a new spring that was close, ~40 lb/in, but decided to go with the factory spring instead

Much better feel with the stronger spring.

FYI, you do not need the spring at all if you prefer a "heavier" clutch

Also , the circlip broke that holds keeps the bolt (#8 in diagram) from sliding out. I just replaced it with an E clip, works perfectly

Thanks again Woody
