Has anyone permanently removed the big underdash clutch spring?
I do not like this spring, and how how it pushes the pedal back and forth.

But if it's not used, is the upper Z-bar spring (engine compartment-side) enough?
I am thinking of using two springs, possibly with a stronger firewall anchor point.

The bottom spring just keeps the clutch rod planted in the fork, so it seems like the upper Z-bar spring would do all of the work.

The purpose of the underdash spring is to lessen the effort for the driver when pushing the clutch. It is not there to pull the fork back. You can remove it if you want and some aftermarket clutch kits manufacturers suggest doing it (with their clutch.) Just be careful as the spring is under some serious tension. I unbolt the pedal stop, which allows me to release the tension.
