Tell me if I have a problem... (Clutch pedal)

Well, yesterday I got my box from Pelican with my clutch pedal return spring. Last week I rebuilt my pedal cluster and replaced all bushings with bronze. I noticed that my clutch pedal return spring was missing so I ordered one from our host.

Last night me and a roommate put it in....WOW ...that thing was hard. I referenced my manuals to make sure I was installing it correctly and all but here's the problem.

The clutch pedal doesn't come back out all the way now...


This is odd because I thought this was a clutch pedal "RETURN" spring. It gets close but definately doesn't completely rest on the rubber stop (on the cluster).

I can use my toe and gently pull on it and it will flop all the way out, but it won't do it on it's own.


So, what did I do wrong? Am I preloading the clutch like this?
Does this spring just need to break in or something?



Help!
