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

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.
