From the old material I have read, the “soft stop” was like a detent that you could pull past, but it took more force to get by that point.  I understand this is still found on a number of our birds.

 

Dave,
I believe the soft stops were put on the "E" models with the split elevator

and later models.  The split elevator Ercoupe will stall and the spring

adds pressure to the yolk when it is pulled to a point approaching

stall conditions alerting the pilot.  I believe there is also a "safe flight"

 warning system on these later models to additionally warn of an impending

stall.  Ya all that know for sure,  let me know as my E model will

fly someday.
