FS: McMaster-Carr 9657K142 Compression Spring for Clutch Pedal

[bcrdukes]

I did the spring mod on my 996.2. Immediately the car felt like a real German sports car. But there were times I regret it especially in heavy rush hour stop and go traffic. I still have nightmares removing the original spring and installing the McMaster spring, but the 2nd time was a lot easier.

Where it burned me was when I sold the car and during the PPI process. A "reputable" Porsche shop decided to mark in the PPI my clutch was on its way out, not knowing I did the spring mod. The buyer tried to use it to their advantage during a negotiation and in the end, we both walked from the deal.

Having a 986.2 now, I don't feel I need the spring mod but the spring mod works well depending on your use case and situation.

I'm curious, did you ever drive it without the spring at all?
