7MT hydraulic accumulator failure

Here is a short summary to add/expand on what @tdh1971 is saying:

I’m also interested in this as well. I never installed the Steeda spring because I suspected it would only have minimal effect. The question to my mind is how much this little damper/“accumulator” is responsible for the vaugeness/mushiness of the Broncos clutch. Even if it’s just 20 or 30% (with the dual mass flywheel responsible for the rest) removing it might be a significant improvement.

That's a really interesting read! Never really thought about the potential for transmission damage. Considering possible issues with synchros and whatnot in our transmissions already definitely gives me a little bit of pause. Especially while running the 37s and beating it up off road.

Also I forgot to mention earlier that I originally did the Steeda spring for my Focus RS because it suffered a similar strangeness with the clutch pedal. It's definitely a minimal improvement, but it's also really cheap and relatively easy to do. So bit of a win-win.
