Default Return Spring?

2000 Firebird Formula m6 w/ spec stage 1

Now that the weather is cooling off, my clutch pedal has become sticky after my clutch has disengaged. The pedal won't return past the point of pedal freeplay. I believe this can be solved if I replace the clutch return spring.(95000 miles, probably original spring).

What do you guys think?

Also, does somebody know the part number?

The clutch return spring only keeps it solid when its not engaged, it does very little for the return actually, its really the pressure plate that dictates the return speed. After getting a new one in back in April, it busted on me again in Sept. I was like f-it as it cost almost $30 for it or something.

mine broke a couple years ago and has been fine ever since. If you search for the spring on here you'll find alot of people just leave it off without problems
