hey.. i was wondering what the spring on the clutch pedal is for. mine broke off about 10 months ago and i freaked out when it happened but the car is still driving fine without it. also i had a new clutch put in last month and the service shop didnt even notice it. btw my 93 integra ls has about 160,000 miles on it. i am thinking it just helps take some of the pressure off of the clutch pedal, but i am worried it might be important. has anyone else had this problem? anyone know the price for a new one? is it hard to put in/how do i put it in.

thanks guys =)
