Nope.. the spring works in the opposite way. Quote from site:
This product helps minimize the "dead" spot on the clutch pedal on Mustangs which have an aftermarket clutch adjuster and quadrant added to them.
The dead spot is what I have with the magnet. When I push the clutch in, I have to close the gap you see me doing in the vid. Actually... looking at the picture close (I "saved-as" to my desktop to blow it up) it is really hard to tell due to angle. But.... if the spring were to be pushing the fork back, such as my magnet is pulling it back, I think the spring coils would callapse untill it stopped compressing and/or just add additional pedal resistance during a shift.
What do you think?
Jazzer.... confused now

The stock OEM Ford or the FRPP throwout bearings I highly recommend
using as they last a long time and would be the best to use.The WORST
throwout bearing you could possibly use is the spec throwout bearing
definitley don't get a spec throwout bearing my spec throwout bearing
lasted 5K miles before it failed right with their spec stage 2 clutch that
failed too.

Your right... see ***HERE***
The issue it has is continuously increased pressure needed to depress the clutch. The farther the pedal moves, the more resistance is created. I had this idea originally, but bailed on it for this reason.
