nah, but you can adjust the springing action that releases the clutch to softer or harder (springs back faster/with more pressure) doing that will shorten the release (in terms of time). ahah

Yes, and though this may seem pretty obvious, make sure that in the higher gears, the clutch fully disengages when ya release the clutch... try EVERY GEAR when you think you're done....

I've never done it... its just something I read about...

when you get your clutch replaced, i think they adjust this for you so it engages properly. i was thinking about doing this but i have second thoughts. i'll leave it to the tranny specialists i bring my car to.
