What is amazing about this modification is that you will be producing LESS WEAR ON YOUR CLUTCH. An unnatural throw means you will be harsher on your clutch, eating away at the liner on your clutch disk.
If you have a modern manual transmission car, you might have a ‘clutch helper spring’. It is designed to make the throw of the clutch pedal linear, however the main drawback is that it makes the pedal feel numb, resulting in a very unnatural feel when driving manual. A simple google search will show you that many Nissans, Infinitis, Scions, Mustangs, and even Porsche’s have them. Plenty of vehicles are made with them, yet many enthusiasts remove them or swap them out to get remove/ reduce the numbness.
There are 3 different approaches to changing the feeling from the engagement point of the clutch pedal;
Approach 1 – Remove the helper spring entirely
Approach 2 – Change out the stock helper spring, with a spring with a different rate
Approach 3 – Replace the stock clutch pedal with an adjustable one.
Approach 1 is pretty much the same with every vehicle and you don’t need to purchase any tools to get this done. Approach 2 is different with every car, as you will need a spring with the same length, similar ID and OD, however a lower spring rate. Approach 3 is vehicle specific since you will need to find a clutch pedal that is made for your car for it to be an easy installation.

Does it damage slave cylinder?
What about lexus is220d clutch spring it's work or not?
I've found that the clutch is a bit tricky when it's cold. Once it warms up (like 5 minutes driving, or 10 idling in the drive) it's smooth as silk.
Finally a YouTuber that gets to the point. And does what’s in the title
2016 model the same??? I don't have that problem
My 07 Z does this. I had no idea about changing that spring. Will be looking into that. New subscriber!!
I have the same problem, and turning my T control on if I’m a bit more aggressive!
Bruh I drive the z almost everyday, spring still on , idk what people talking about
Milan, it's time to stop calling him "my little brother". Call him by his name or call him brother. Drop the little, it's a put down.
I simply cannot watch this guys videos.
Yada….yada….yada….
Too much in love with his own voice!
Great vid Milan, I hope you were happy with the free little mod, you were smiling enough 😜👍👍👍👍👍
Best free modification for my manual car? Why, I have cable clutches. I don't have this problem lol
I have a 03 vw passat and the clutch fells also a bit akward and i googled if my car has a clutch spring and it does, but i can only find replacment videos and posts, so im wondering if it only works with some cars.
Hopefully some can give an answer
I am going to try this on my bmw f10
My r55 is like that
Hey Milan..Where's the Audi?
good video don't have this setup on anything of mine but as a mechanic watching you do this I cant help but think you made it seem a million times harder then it actually is to do this .. the whole time watching you remove spring cant help but yell at you the whole time to remove the pin a different way with the same tool you are using … like watching someone trying to hammer a round peg into a square hole ? either way I have driven many a manual as a mechanic and some always had a steep learning curve on them always thought it was the idiot owner not breaking in the clutch correctly ..apparently it was this type of spring assist clutch ?
Which spring did you order first?
i did the same thing to my 16 mustang gt for the exact same reason lol.
Any more accord videos coming?
Does this work for a 350z
i want to see where this goes lol.
French cars don’t need this
U gained 5 hp removing that spring, weight reduction!! LOL
Does the Honda have a spring
You should also investigate your car's "Clutch Delay Valve" … that will cause a bad clutch feel as well. They do it to make engagement smoother. Unfortunately it makes the clutch engagement SLOWER and less predictable, which in performance driving can actually increase wear on the clutch. As I understand it the Z cars have this. It's typically pretty easy to remove.
The g35 and the 350z shares a lot of parts in common
