Instead of reaching an engagment point at 80% out of clutch it is more like 50% now. I did have to adjust the sensor for the cruise/gear thing.

I am still not used to how LIGHT the clutch is. I thought this mod made it feel lighter or that I did something wrong but I think the clutch is just really light to begin with.

Thanks much for this DIY!!!

(long time lurker --- but just got an FRS last friday---PICS LATER )
I also noticed that mine is noticeably lighter now. I think it might have something to do with the downward adjustment precompressing the clutch return spring that sits on the firewall.
