This is precisely what you seek. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77390

Would you recommend this mod for someone with an aftermarket clutch or just factory? I been having the exact same issues in this thread but with a competition stage 3 clutch, pressure plate, and verus forged clutch fork. Also im turbo at 7psi (277whp) if that makes a difference here.

Just realize that there is a tradeoff. A narrower engagement arc requires greater pedal force - about 17% IIRC. The change is inexpensive and easily reversed.
