Newsflash! Ben, I just pulled my dash1. It has a set of springs on the crosshaft that holds the throw out bearing. I'm installing the dash2 and inquired about the springs because they are not on it. S Wilkinson said they don't use the springs on the dash2 and Ford sent out a TSO to remove then from the dash1 because of pedal effort. I ad libbed the last part, but I can see how they would increase pedal effort. Too bad the tranny has to come out to remove them.This pic dash 1 with springs
