It does have some return spring about 1/3 the way down but after that it goes over center and wants to stay towards the floor.

It's not really needed if you have a return on the clutch fork down below.You need one or the other. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

As when you haven't completed the linkage from the pedal to the pressure plate the pedal want to stay down after it's overcentered. Otherwise it's what Rowin4 says... '

Are there 2 springs under the dash? I'm running a Soft Lok clutch, I'm now thinking I don't need an over center spring........

The overcenter spring actually helps hold the pedal down once you reach a certain point. 2017 Contusion Blue Challenger T/A 392 M6 "BLKNBLU"
