I find the engagement point on the stock clutch way too high... find myself slipping the clutch at times even in second gear if I'm not paying attention. I just can't get used to it.

You think the S4 clutch engages high? Try driving an A4.

Default Stock S4 clutch is nowhere near as bad as the stock A4 engagement point. I didn't mind stock S4...
and my CM feels about the same as stock. Well, what I remember of the stock clutch, anyway.

Default My last two cars were a Celica and a 350z... so both had really low engagement points..
I just can't seem to adjust to this one for some reason.

Has anyone ever made a clutch stop for the B5? UUC makes one for the M3, a great $20 mod

You want a low clutch? I'll let you try my 4000 with 235k on the original. Never slips.
