So after a month of driving around with the Steeda clutch spring and then starting to feel tired of how stiff it is, I decided to remove it... until I figured out what the problem was. I was just telling [MENTION=21562]Blaze489[/MENTION] how I drove another friend's 350 with the stock clutch spring and that it felt relieving to drive with a lighter (stock) clutch spring after using the Steeda one for awhile.
After showing him the picture of my setup, he noticed that I kept the bottom spring and the plastic part that was in the original setup. I looked at Steeda's site and instructions again and didn't see any kind of note about the GT350s having two springs, but yet I search the forums and some people are saying to remove both parts.
So now I've re-installed the Steeda spring and left out the plastic part + the smaller spring.
Here's a picture of how it used to look with the steeda spring (ignore the arrows):
So does anyone know 100% for sure if we're supposed to remove the plastic part + smaller spring, or is it just an assumption right now? Why does the second smaller spring come with the stock setup to begin with? Just wanting some clarification. Not sure why it's not mentioned in the PDF if it's actually supposed to be removed.

Having just traded for the new GT350, I made it a point to read through the entirety of our specialized section on the board. Why ? Because there are a lot of damn good tips and trick to be found. And, several of the product reviews from members just saved me some hard earned cash. Plus, Ford makes a lot of running changes. The '18 MY is a classic example. Components that fit the '15-'17 will not the '18-'20. The Steeda clutch spring is a perfect example. It is designed for the S550, MT82 clutch. It was the posts about it not working worth a crap that made me read to the bottom of Steeda's web page. Damn'd if it doesn't say it won't fit the GT350 ............. At The Bottom ! Shame on them ....... The warning needs to be at the top IMHO.
