Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There's a thread on removal of the spring here. It makes the clutch a tad more difficult to push but adds feel and I think progression which the booster spring covers up. Many here have done it and like the results.

I'm tempted to do the spring removal just for kicks but to your point, I had a squeeky spring too and lubing it (twice before I really got it) has solved the squeek.
I removed mine today. It took 1 min once I was situated under there and yanked the vent tube. I have the early no pin version. So, in my car it it falls out after putting the nail in, pressing the pedal and wiggling the part out.
The feel is "corrected" per my way of seeing it. I've never liked the helper spring effect either on this car or the prior 3.2 Carreras I've had. The clutch take up is very linear now but with greater effort. Not too much though for me given the amount of added feel. The cruise control is presumed to now be inop because the pedal is not being pushed back against the CC switch.
Removing the helper spring also got rid of some annoying clicks and pops I had.
So, I'm wondering about the weakest spring solution to allow the pedal to come all the way out. I'm ok with the effort, but want the pedal to come against its stop and the CC to work.
thanks. Good thread resurrected

I used a spring out of brake master cylinder rebuild kit for a '58-'79 Harley-Davidson using the Wagner Lockheed type cylinder. I Just had it handy, but I'm sure a hardwear store would have several springs that would work.
I was thinking I'd take it apart [carefully, w/eye protection] and take the spring to a hardware store and find something the same size, but much less ft lb pressure.
I don't want to bandaid the CC problem with an addition to the CC plunger. I want the pedal to come all the way out.
