After putting 1XXX miles on it, I can say the clutch is awesome(a little more feel would be better but work with what your given). My shifts are all smooth just level out shifts with the gas pedal, as your coming off the clutch in between shifts gradually give it gas so you smooth out the shift. Time my friend will get you to become one with the car, i have no complaints on the gearbox or clutch anymore. Give yourself a little longer and youll be in my shoes!

I am approaching 1K miles.. and my shifter has loosened up some and it engages gears
smoother and I dont get the 2nd gear syncro "miss" anymore. Its still notchy when cold.. but its getting better with each drive.. I did adjust the clutch engagement point so it grabs lower to the floor.. that made a nice difference for less jerky shifts .
My last car took several thousand miles before the manual felt broken in..
It gets better with use and time.. Good post..
