"Low" torque + gear ratio + long useless travel + short engagement = kind of spongy and difficult to use at first. the first 2 poins in that equation are the most important to me, and thats why I think its so hard on the low end and so smoooooth on the high end. Plus, and maybe this is just me, the fact that the gas peddle is attached to the ground and the clutch is "hanging" affects me a little. I'm coming from a car where all 3 were "hanging", much easier to toe them. Gettin used to it hough, and I'm sure you will too
