Greg, when I had mine installed, the clutch pedal was actually a bit stiffer
than the stock?
One thing I have noticed however is it doesn't seem to 'pop' into gear as
quickly as the stock one...not really a prob...I just noticed that my old
stock clutch easily chirped in 2nd, whereas this new one takes a little
effort.

...its a V6....2nd gear chirpin is about as good as I can get....right now
:)
