Which springs are stiffer?
« on: June 21, 2010, 10:33:47 PM »
Is a 1500 spring stiffer than a 1000 spring?  The spring in the picture on the left is the 1000rpm one and the one on the right is the 1500 rpm.  The 1000 is about a 1/2 inch longer than the 1500.  I would think that this would cause more pressure on the clutch and make a more effective engagement?  I am confused???
