I kept reading this thread and decided to give it a whirl. Huge difference my friend. Even after driving for 15k on the stock setup, it took all of about 5 minutes to realize this is what it should have been from the start. Never going back to the stock setup.

Do it!

You are describing me too almost word for word - last manual car was this old crappy VW Rabbit I learned on 10 years ago. But it shifted quickly and had a short clutch like this mod does.

When I test drove the Scion I felt like...why does this clutch feel SO high up? And driving it around now, while I LOVE my car and am so happy, I keep having some issues here and there because I struggle with smooth shifting.

Thank you SO much for pointing this thread out and Koji for posting the DIY - I'm going to take my car over to my parents place [way more room to work - my car garage is too tiny and shared with my sister's xB] and work on this. Bit nervous but seems like this is pretty derp proof provided I follow everything closely ^_^
