start doing so squats then cuz it sounds like you left foot isn't getting enough of a workout, on top of that there is absolutely no snappiness in with in on, if anything it feels like im driving a 1987 Toyota Tercel

Start doing some squats? I did not complain that its hard to push. I complained that it feels dull. With the spring in it feels snappier. Might just be me.

Just because I do no agree with you on something that is a matter of opinion, does not make me wrong on it. But instead you act like a prick on the subject.

There's a lot of pricks on this forum man. Lol. Most of them are playing, but occasionally you'll get one that has to take everything serious and that thinks his opinion is the only one that matters or they have to constantly correct someone.

I find it really annoying considering they do that, bc it draws the attention away from the OP... Which is not what Jay was doing and im not directing this towards you Jay.

i removed it for good reason, back to topic, its not needed, think of it as the cobra carpet mod that people did back in 03+
Haha okay. My spring is still in and my peddle feels good. Im going to keep my spring in untill I have good reason to remove it.

I take it 05-09/10 gt's didnt have it? I hated my buddies 08 gt stock clutch feeling.

I took my spring out. Now my clutch droops after the car's been sitting for a while in the cold. I usually end up hooking the side of my shoe under it to pull it back up. I get about an inch and a half of travel back. When it droops, the travel feels way too short for the clutch to be disengaging completely. However, I do like that I can actually feel the engagement point now, so I'll be leaving it out.

it shouldnt be drooping, look under and make sure the bracket isnt loose, also check the top (theres a red sensor) make sure its two fingers snug)

I just checked. It's a hydraulic pressure droop in the master. When I pull it back up, I get full pressure and the clutch returns to full height. There is no spring at the pivot point on the clutch pedal, only the brake. The only springs left between my left foot and the flywheel are in the clutch itself. I guess they changed it for 2014.

I removed the spring from our '13 and the top 1" or so of freeplay does feel kinda vague, sometimes I just pull it up with my toe like mentioned....doesn't always do it :shrug:

My petite wifey (4' 10") likes it just fine too & I'm glad since it's her DD.
