Two questions:
Are you sure the clutch is adjsuted properly in whatever you are driving? Becuase it sure doesn;t sound liek it if you are having to use that much muscle to get it into gear... other than a click, mine rows through the gears, in my t56 and my tko600...
Part two to that- If the clutch is adjusted properly, and I don't mean this negatively, btu are you a little scrawny dude? Only asking becuase using too much muscle with a shifter is not a common complaint...
3rd- No other spring options I know of...
Yea I don't have much muscle in my arms/wrist, so yea its a little difficult to shift.
