I think I can handle an unsprung clutch. It's not that bad.........

My unsprun isn't so bad. So you get a little shutter with slow engagement. I drive it all the time in bumper to bumper traffic.

The springs in a sprung clutch are mainly there to reduce torsional vibrations that affect the crank, not cushion the engagement. They essentially do that same thing as a properly designed crank pulley and flywheel. Manufacturers spend countless time and energy designing these parts to match the engine perfectly, reducing the damaging effects of torsional vibrations. If you remove or alter these longevity parts, you can reduce the life of your motor supstantially.

So what have learned today kiddies? If you want your engine to last, choose the right parts.

That being said I went with the unpsrung clutch on my carbecase I didn't know really too much about this at the time. Only time I ever feel any chatter is when I'm trying to launch on gravel with out spinning the tires. Pedal feel is like stock, and it holds like no 2morow, I routinely catch a dirty 5th. By they way, I'm using mikes clutch.
