Yes I have the spring & the clutch does need prop forward thighs like tug boats. Ex UCL Fourths so the flab remains!

Richard I remember when I got the car the clutch was a bit on off like you describe. It had done 9k in 6 years and year 6 was I think 50 miles. So I put it down to little use , greased the spring & didn't look back
