I originally removed the factory clutch pedal spring for this very reason, and then ran only a DIY clutch return spring, only so that the clutch pedal could fully return to the top and maintain the clutch master cylinder bore for the hydraulics. Of course, if your clutch pedal/master cylinder never sticks to the floor, then a (additional) clutch pedal return spring may not totally be necessary.

I don’t really plan on tracking my car anytime soon, and the only time I fear my pedal sticking in the future (if at all), is if my CMC ever goes out again. I got lucky in the past, and my DIY return spring (with stock clutch pedal spring removed) helped pull up my clutch pedal just enough, when it started to die out and lose all hydraulic pressure. This helped me limp home, but I can’t think of any other reason besides racing applications, where a clutch pedal return spring or this upgraded spring might be totally beneficial.

I would even consider running the clutch pedal all by itself with no spring at all, if I wasn’t so paranoid and been so unlucky. Really, an added additional clutch pedal return spring is only a bit tougher on the pedal pressure, when your clutch hydraulic is properly working. Other than that, if you’ve ever bled your clutch pedal or let the hydraulic line pressure out, you’ll notice that whatever spring you have in there, heavy or not, will not actually feel all that heavy.

No additional return spring needed. I just hated the feel of the original spring and feel this is a huge improvement. I have always looked after my clutch fluid as I have a separate reservoir and never had any problems. I did like the way the pedal felt with the spring removed but after talking with my corvette buds and the forum’s I just didn’t want to take that chance.i also do not want to fabricate a make shift return spring or the $100 bolt on one from The famous L.
This works for me and just trying to show my gratitude to John for a job well done.
