The new drive by wire throttle pedals have a dead spot at initial depressing when the ecu had been disconnected with limited mileage on it. The computer learns the range of motion as you drive the car. As others have stated. In order to eliminate this dead zone to speed up the process of the computer learning the pedal range you can try the trick I posted earlier. It seemed to work for as I was experiencing the same thing as op is now. Nothing special about it, just that ecu needs to relearn after being disconnected or brand new with limited mileage. If your talking about the clutch engagement than that's something different and there are things you can do for that as well. But I wouldn't recommend it as it's not changing the leverage motion of the clutch and simply shortening the amount of travel, that if done incorrectly could lead to improper clutch actuation and premature clutch replacement. Anyways I hope this helps.
