Broken clutch bracket

So I was driving home this morning and noticed something different with my clutch.
As I pull into my garage and turn the engine off something fell from under the dashboard to my feet....I looked down, and this is what I see

I noticed the bracket arm for the spring support broke off.

Never seen this happen before.

Probably a result of that spring being way too stiff and over stressing that bend in the bracket.

Yep, personally I think that spring was a poor choice on Infiniti's part. It's way too stiff from the factory.

Definitely change it to a lighter spring. It's worth the money and is a pretty significant upgrade over the stronger stock spring:
