Just installed the Steeda Clutch spring (95lbs for 2011) and out for a drive. Pedal force is definitely linear compared to OEM spring. Shifting is easier or feel for catch point :-) For $9 purchase it was worth it. Recommend switching them out :-)

Wow. What a difference. They should have come this way from the factory.

That's the beauty about the aftermarket ... we take over where the OEM left off!

Finally got my installed. Thoughts:

Pros - Easier to be precise with the clutch

Cons - lighter pedal feel compared to no spring installed (I prefer a heavier pedal)

I was a bit surprised that it was easier to use the clutch now. I don't mean in terms of effort, but in being precise with it. It's still hilariously vague and offers zero feel, but at least I can release the pedal exactly how I want.

ETA - for $10 I'm pretty happy. Definite improvement over stock and with the spring removed.

We haven't been able to confirm or deny the fix for the clutch sticking at high RPMs ... maybe one of the members can weigh in?

Best Regards,

It shouldn't, considering its largely a clutch issue and not a clutch pedal issue.

This is not from personal experience. One of my friends had the issue with his mustang and they removed the spring. The issue still occurred. They changed his clutch for a ford performance unit and it went away. I would assume it's a clutch issue based in this, same as the previous poster.

Okay, it must be me but how do you get this spring assembly back in place? I can't get my self into any sort of position to work with the seat there. Is there a simple way the pedal assembly comes out I assume? I am thinking I am going about this the hard way.

You can either use some needle nose vice grips to compress the spring, or push the pedal down with one hand and cram the spring in with the other. I did the latter option, and it's a PITA but not too bad. Will have to be on your back or side with your head right by the pedal. Not the easiest getting one hand on the pedal from there but it can be done.

Killaz05 you're not the only one to struggle with the installation. First I suggest cutting a wooden dowel to a length that will allow you to keep the clutch pedal fully depressed. Push the seat all the way back to give yourself as much room as possible and then put one end of the dowel on the pedal and then wedge the other end against the seat cushion. Next take the spring assembly and put the cups in place and then take a piece of wire [ the proverbial baling wire works well ] and wrap it around the assembly and put it in a vice and squeeze it until it is almost completely compressed. Use the wire to hold it in this position and then place the lower white plastic cup in position on the clutch rod. Rotate the spring into the top position and untie the wire. The spring will snap into the upper notch pretty easily and then you can remove the wire. This is much easier than trying to do it all by muscle alone. Happy motoring.
