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.

Yes, Really.... two different things... While you use adjectives like ' usually' .. which makes it true... it can also be that a car has 200,000 k miles on it and the springs are fine.. but the friction material wears out...independently ..and the rivets used to attach it... score the flywheel..... The Result .... Is that when replacing the clutch you wind up having to take the flywheel out and have it surfaced... as opposed to just being able to put in a new clutch plate and throwout bearing and keep on truckin..

Yup, really should do that anyway. When mine needs a new clutch, I would most likely (usually)(probably)(but not certainly) have the flywheel resurfaced. I will probably go for some added weight on my flywheel at the same time as I think it could be a pretty simple machine shop operation. I think that anyone who runs it long enough that the rivets get into the flywheel maybe isn't a good candidate for a standard transmission. On the other hand, maybe they just don't care to much about their equipment. I try really hard to get a good feel, a good sense and to really listen to my car. I think it saves me a lot of money. Maybe I should go to the stealer and see if they can find that little clutch guage. I bet they will scratch their heads on that one. Maybe not!
