[Walt Fricke]

The springs in MCs are not strong, and certainly are not intended as a brake pedal return. There is a spring in the pedal cluster for just that purpose.

Replacing the bushings isn't that big a job. It helps to have on hand a new roll pin, because to get the clutch pedal arm off you have to drive the old one out. I think a twisted coil one from a hardware store might be better than the stock Porsche one in terms of longevity.
