    Should I remove my clutch pedal spring?

    I'm performing a tranny swap. (Keisler's T45R kit) I chose the hyd throw out bearing. I'm wondering if I should remove the J-stop spring. The reason I ask is because my clutch pedal goes to the floor and stays there. Granted everything is not hooked up yet, but i'm wondering if the hyd...
