not that it's slipping or anything, but something a bit firmer would be nice.

Default Mine is fairly soft with a really long travel distance. Firmer with shorter travel would be nice.

It does not bother me enough to see what adjustments my service dept can make though.

Default mine just doesn't feel right.

kind of spongy I guess. let me ask you this: if you push the pedal all the way down and rev the engine a little, do you feel any vibration through the clutch pedal? I do...not excessive, but enough to make me think it needs to be adjusted or something.

Guys it is just a refined clutch. Feels very similar to my Porsche GT3.

Default If you want a stiffer clutch try a 427 Cobra or Mack.

If you find any way to stiffen it up let everyone know. It would be nice if you could do so for track use & hard driving, and as it is stock for daily use. Kind of like select track!
