Did you try SS lines OP? your clutch lines might be bad.

No. Everything is tip-top. Works as designed. IMHO, there isn't remotely enough pressure built up in this or most hydraulic clutch systems to warrant SS lines.
...but I feel ya. Good thought.

I was actually about to make a thread like this very soon, cause I wasn't sure if I was the only one that was experiencing this. I feel like I have to concentrate too much to find the grab point & achieve a smoove start. On my motorcycles it was just, boom and boom. Not much focus involved, relied solely on muscle memory never stalled.

I've only stalled my car about 5 times since getting it in April, and most of those were while backing over humps/obstacles that I didn't know where there, with no throttle. When I sit in my Sparco Sprint seat, which puts my arse about an inch off the floor, I sometimes am a bit sloppy on take-ups, but that's it. |

I don't see much point in removing it. You can probably clutch in and out faster than the synchros could handle that shift speed as it is. |

Sorry, I know this doesn't help and is perhaps inflammatory but I really don't know what the issue is.

After I got rid of the assistance spring the mushy feeling from the clutch after lowering the engagement point is gone. Wood recommend/10

Here's another way to describe what I'm used to. When the clutch starts to grab a little, I expect very little travel between that point and full engagement - nice & crisp. Since I've been thinking about it, there are 2 exceptions I've experienced. 1. Truck clutch - feels like the Twin but it makes sense for a truck because the clutches are massive so they need to give the driver lots of leverage. That translates into more travel. 2. I've used up a few clutches in my motocross days. When the discs start to warp they feel similar. So, browsing through the subaru parts catalog last night, I learned there are essentially 2 different slave cylinders and one master used on pretty much all their cars for the last 10 years. The slaves have either a 3/4 or 13/16 bore. We have the big one so I'm hoping they otherwise share the same form because, wow, that would be a no-brainer. Fingers crossed.

Agree, I used to sit too close to the steering wheel and would mess up starts all the time and I just thought the clutch was acting up. Now I sit with the seat pushed all the way back and can drive the car much more smoothly.

Eventually I learned that driving like that did little other than give me headaches due to poor posture. Now I sit almost parallel with the passenger seat(which is all the way back against the rear seat) and am much more comfortable and confident in every aspect. Visibility, shifting, placement of car on road, judgement, everything improved.. I think being cramped up like that was choking off the blood supply to my brain, as now I very rarely have headaches like I used to. lol Sorry for the ramble; I just want to recommend everyone to think about stepping out of their comfort zone with seat position to try something further back as it may greatly improve your driving experience.

Right now whats comfortable for me. 1) Elbows are very slightly bent when hands @ 9 & 3 position on the steering wheel (almost perpendicular to the steering wheel) 2) Sit fairly low, I can't see the end of the nose on the car. 3) Left foot is slightly bent when resting on the dead pedal. I don't see how changing my seating position would change anything considering its not going to change how the clutch will feel.

Especially since the Old Guard knows this topic is almost as tired as the crickets threads, I was expecting to get a ton of one-liners like "totaled" or "get an automatic." Cmon, are the trolls asleep?
