I've read the whole thread but still dubious on what is being felt with the mod?
Is the clutch pedal going to be lighter to press in? or depresing faster?

Heavier pedal, less spring assistance. Better feel, easier modulation.

I found the original spring made for a very light pedal, (numb feeling), and I had a harder time finding the biting point than I should have.

Just pulled the spring & I like the feel, though there is some play when the pedal is fully released.
Ordered a 6-pack of McMaster springs & will report back on my experience.

Got all psyched to pull the clutch spring assist from my semi new to me 98, stretched a bit and under the steering wheel I went. removed the vent to make things easier to
see................. that my spring assist is already removed. Some have complained about how hard the clutch is to push without it, I guess when one doesn't know the difference...... sure feels light to me
