    No cable just a rod coming thru the firewall to tranny and it's all moving freely. Was thinking of getting a more heavier spring.

    Does the rod have any adjustments in it. Someplace with a set of lock nuts on the rods?

    If it is all moving freely and the return spring is in place the pedal should be up at the top. If you have to pull it up, you have a frozen or stiff joint or linkage somewhere in the system. Start disconnecting linkage to isolate the problem. A new or stiffer spring may correct the issue, but the spring should be loose or stretched with the pedal pulled up. New spring may only mask the problem temporarily.
