So leave it there if it ‘helps’ pushing the clutch. The diaphragm clutch stays on the floor because the ‘fingers’ go past center and centrifugal force pulls it in. That’s an adjustment issue, stop travel before it gets to that point. Major problem on Chevys, Been there done that. I want that over spring on there to keep the throw out bearing off the fingers (thats not not the little spring on the bell’s purpose) (keeps pedal from rattling too). If to much travel change the ratio on Z bar, pedal or make a pedal stop. I certainly don’t want the clutch pedal setting below the brake pedal. Seems like you all are looking for a fix for no problem.
You should explain that to centerforce then. Or to the guys who put those diaphragm clutches in cars that I fixed by taking the over center spring out.
Seen it all my life, someone says it’s the best thing since sliced bread then all the rest jump on the bandwagon thinking it’s the gospel. In reality it’s a bandaid to make their product look great since the majority cant fix it the right way. But then maybe the centerforce guys are smarter then the Chrysler engineers. So tell me what do you use to keep that throw out bearing off the fingers? Take out a spring, then add another?
There’s still the small spring on the fork. The travel on the pedal is much smoother and doesn’t get sticky with the overcenter spring taken out. You do what works for you, the rest of us will stick with what is recommended and works for us. You should try it and compare. Your stated reasons for keeping it don’t mesh with reality. It won’t rattle and the pedal will sit even, at least on a manual brake car. The over center spring isn’t keeping the TOB off the fingers either. When the pedal returns to the top without one, I’m not sure what you think is different with one.
