Just did the mod and I could tell the feel of the clutch is more familiar now. I've owned more than 4 manual cars in my life and my G had the most awkward feeling clutch. Haven't taken it out for a drive yet but will let you all know soon. Excited to finally drive my car the way I've wanted. Thanks for the DIY fix guys.

Just went for a quick drive. Only a few blocks and found the feel for the clutch was a bit more responsive. I definitely can tell when the clutch is engaged. Only downside is that the peddle is a bit more harder to push down. But I can get used to that if it means smoother shifts and better feel for the clutch.

Lazochhuon, go order the replacement spring from Jsolo. He's still selling them, and he's a good guy to deal with.

Best $20 you'll ever spend on the car.

Thanks @Rochester, I ran into an old buddy of mine who actually ordered a couple springs (not sure why)... but was able to get one from him.

Appreciate you looking out.

Thanks

I just did this mod. I'm 41 years old and have had nothing but manual transmissions since I was 16. I bought a 2010 G37S with 39k miles. The clutch was EVIL!! I started to think I was getting Alzheimer's cause I could not drive this thing right. Then I did the pedal travel mod. It helped some. Still had the knee shake and the clutch chatter taking off. How embarrassing. This mod has finally given me my car back! I really want to slap the dog squeeze out of whoever designed this clutch pedal.

So....I know I should look into the $20 spring, but I just have to say how happy I am with the spring removed. Thanks for info and write-up.
