idk I'm just a tad bit confused.
Search for "clutch helper spring" on this forum and do the simple clutch spring replacement mod. It takes 20 minutes and your clutch will feel 100x better and easier to find the engagement point. Other than that, just keep practicing. You are doing the right thing by not pushing the car hard until it breaks in.
