Compared to the lightweight Civic "hulk smash" clutch where you just put your whole foot through the wheel well since it weighs maybe 1oz.

So where do you guys find a perfect point to shift?
How long have you had the Z? The clutches in these cars are def unique, takes some time getting used to. It took over a month of driving before I got the muscle memory down and now the car drives like any other manual car I've driven. I'd say I push the clutch in 60% when changing gears. I think it's more about how you come off the clutch to not have the car jerky. Take your shifts slow in 1-2.
