Clutch pedal spring broke?

Clutch pedal spring broke?
Tonight I was moving my car and pushed the clutch pedal in and I heard a ting/snap sound. I got out of the car, look on my floor mat and saw what looks like a part of a spring.
It's about one inch long, curved one end and the other end has grease on it.
The clutch pedal goes in and out fine, should I worry?
I thought I heard of something like this a year or so ago on the net but can't remember what it was?
Any idea's?

Re: Clutch pedal spring broke?
Yeah, mine broke too, but stayed on the pedal. One end just snapped. I took it to the dealer and they ordered the part. I've been driving without it (since I haven't felt like going to the dealer) for quite a while and been ok, but I think it's best to get it replaced if you can. Instead of relying on the spring to help return the clutch pedal, you're relying soley on the hydrolics. I heard they have a new spring that is stronger to fix this common problem, but I'm not definitely sure on that.

Re: Clutch pedal spring broke?
mine broke as well and it has been many many miles since then with no issue. What sucked is mine broke during a race so it kinda scared me which is another reason why I didn't want another one on it. These things are notorious for breaking.

I broke 3 of them when I had a stock clutch.The dealer replaced 2 of them and the 3rd they said enough is enough.I drove and raced for about 3000 miles without the spring

Re: Clutch pedal spring broke?
Will the dealer replace mine as I have the same problem. But I have a pro 5.0 shifter and Longtube headers?
Long tube Headers
Hooker Cat-back with cutout
Lid, MAF, programming
Pro 5.0, Poly Trans mount
Moser 12 bolt with 4.10's, 3.5" driveshaft
And a bunch of other suspension/appearance mods.
They ordered the spring and will be installing it under warranty as soon as it comes in.
So yes, they should warranty you just fine .
