I bet your pedal is all the way to the very top with the softer spring ... you can just feel the 'dead zone' at the top better with a softer spring.

You are describing the 'dead zone' at the top of the pedal, which is normal. You couldn't feel it with the OEM spring because the OEM is super stiff, but it was still there even with the OEM spring.

When the assist spring is removed entirely, the 'dead zone' becomes pedal play or slop.

Just drive it for a week and you'll not even think about it anymore.

Done! Took all of five minutes from opening the package to installation. No vice grips needed.

First mod on the new Stang. Me likey!
Great to hear, enjoy! :cheers:

Installed today, works perfect, feels just like no spring. Good job Steeda!
Thanks for the feedback, Keith! Enjoy it! :)

Installed mine today, feel is much better than stock! If you're having a hard time compressing the stock spring, just get more leverage with bigger vice grips or pliers. Steeda directions are good, nothing broke! Easy! Thanks Steeda!
Agreed. Installed mine this week and it feels just like no spring, which I'm good with. :)

Just installed my Steeda clutch spring over the weekend and the clutch is much better now. I too found when releasing that I was hanging up the clutch or I could not find the correct pressure point, but it was the spring doing it all along. I have driven many manual transmission cars since I was 15 and it was hard to get used to. The 2014 Focus ST I had before this one felt very similar. Very vague pedal feel, but no more. Thanks Steeda! :)

I was afraid I forgot how to drive stick, but installed this over the weekend, and I'm back to smooth shifting. Thanks!
Well this is a testimonial if I've ever seen one! Glad to hear it sir! :)

Alright, you guys talked me into it. The comments about feeling like you can't drive a stick, but knowing good and well you can, that sold me.

Can't wait to try this thing. Thanks steeda for the solution!

Now if someone could design a cheap way to adjust clutch engagement point! I don't like it being all the way at the top of the pedal travel!
