The spring will force the slave's piston to continue to withdraw into the slave cyl (probably bottoming the piston in the bore). This will pull the TO bearing farther away from the pressure plate fingers, resulting in a huge amount of free play. The next time that the clutch pedal is depressed, the slave piston will have to travel a lot further before the TO bearing contacts the pressure plate fingers, and will run out of travel (movement) before fully releasing the clutch disc.
Bottom line is the clutch disc won't be fully released, if at all.

WRONG!!! That adjustment is made at the Slave Cylinder Piston! You WANT That Spring to return the Piston to the BOTTOM of it's Bore Everytime!(This also keeps a Slight 'Residual' Pressure in the Line, all the way to the Master Cyl.) The 'Length of Throw', and T.O. Bearing Clearance, to the P. Plate Fingers; are Adjusted at the Clevis Threads and then Locked-In with the Jam Nut. I threw the 'Stop Bolt' in the Trash, Years Ago; IT Does Absolutely NOTHING!! You Better learn how a Clutch works! Before You Burn-Up Your T.O. Bearing! First of All Your Not Allowing for 'Everything' Heating-Up! Among Other Factors!...
Hey Merlin, YOUR RIGHT
