You are catching on to something here.The full swing of the pedal is not needed.Only have to push in far enough to disengage the clutch.The pedal has more throw then needed.Try it and you will see what I' am talking about.
Once you understand and get used to it there is no problem at all.
I agree the throwout bearing sure leaves alot to be desired.Very noisy brand new??We can only hope it doesn't get any louder as time goes on.
On any other american auto a throwout bearing that makes that much noise in neutral with the pedal fully released needs replacing.Thats usually after about 60 to 70 thousand miles!This is a new Nissan design so time will tell.
