Its a mechanical assembly, and with wear and break in the feel will change. If you have a "good" gearbox shifts should always be smooth with two finger effort to change gears on this car. I have been in 86s with great gearboxes where clutch, gear feel rivaled some of the best manual cars. And others that chattered and were hesitant to engage gears.
Its a combination of experience (seat time) with manual transmissions and understanding that certain factors like, temp, gear oil, driving style and what is normal helps to make a better driving experience.
Personally if you have a good gearbox on this car there is absolutely zero reason to change anything in pedal travel, etc. I had 24k miles of rev matching every downshift, engine broke to every stop, but never gear skipped up shifts or down shifts (see S2000 problems). I never had one grind even after track miles. But this takes understanding more than just getting in and banging gears.
