If that clutch fork is like most of them, there is a pivot between the pushrod and the throwout bearing. Therefore, for the clutch to work, the clutch fork gets pushed towards the rear of the car. It looks like yours is set up to push towards the front.... unless I'm missing something. ------------------

You want a spirng to hold it forward until you push on it, or your throwout bearing will be running all the time and wear it out. Doesn't take much, just a ligher spring.------------------
