Use the later model springs, but no not go for the uprated stronger springs like EBC supply as they ruin the smooth clutch and wear the hinge on the actuator in the clutch cover prematurely.My springs have a blue color mark and the 2002 model have a yellow color mark... lets hope they are not the EBC stuff!
I´ve removed the clutch and the transmission shaft, in neutral and by hand, moves with a lot of resistance! I cant even do a full turn with it!
It should spin free and easy!
