And tell me why don't you have an RJM pedal assembly again?

The 'kick back' is in the stock pedal assembly. There is a pivot point in the pedal travel even with the spring completely removed. I have an OEM one sitting on my garage floor and could demonstrate this. The RJM pedal is completely smooth and linear. Plus you can adjust the engagement

It doesn't help that the throttle response is very muted at low rpms in low gear in the stock tune. I found my aftermarket tune helped me with more consistent throttle control when modulating the clutch.
