Steeda Clutch Assist Spring - Incompatible with 2019 GT350

[FLETCshooter]

The 2019's clutch seems lighter than my 2015 Z/28 and took some time to get used to it. So I was looking at the mod, but decided to give it some time. I'm glad I did now.

no clue really... maybe just to take all pressure off the slave?

Sooo... looking again... maybe this one has just been removed?

Well that would be a bummer unless Ford has greatly revised the pedal operation to operate more linearly than the previous one.

Just remove the spring. My R has been springless for 18 months, perfectly linear and feel, zero slop.

Looked up under my new 2019 GT350 and OP is correct....not there from the factory.

Looks like Ford replaced the old spring assembly with a torsion spring on the upper pivot. They just didn't spec a different pedal, so the mounting post for the old spring is still there. No harm in that.

Note the 2019s have a spring at the upper pivot whereas the 2018 with removed spring does not.

Agreed but as pointed out prior to this, the way that spring I is coiled and attached, it is a return spring which would be increasing pedal pressure as opposed to removing it.

Update... i think the return spring is in there because my (18) pedal with assist spring removed has about 1/4" of play at the top so the pedal flops around a bit.... i bet that torsional spring is only there to take out that slack.

^^ agreed. the old style assist spring does appear to double as a return spring by the nature of how it pivots... so makes sense they'd do something to cover that part of the functionality.

I know this is an older post but wanted to point out this is GT350 specific, my 19 BULLITT still has the "old" style spring setup.
