No not really, not different things. Weak springs will cause the clutch to slip, slipping will cost fast wear - usually the two parts wear out together. All I am saying is "forget the little tool" and enjoy the rather low cost hard working clutch. When it no longer performs, replace it. Two, three hundred Dollars for all that performance, pretty cheap.
