just remove the clutch helper spring or source a softer century one from LMBMike, and get a sprint booster or a tune to remove the throttle lag.

Yes, the new 3.0 version is shipping now. Just waiting to hear back from Ryan about shipping it to my office. Looks like a great product.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Exhaust and Engine sound makes a difference on your clutching out of 1st gear (It does for me at least).
Say for example if I'm listening to the radio really loud, and I cant hear the exhaust/engine it messes up my shifting, it's kinda weird, but hearing and feeling the motor and muffler helps a lot when you get going on 1st gear.

That's where my Tomei comes in handy. It never gets covered by my music lol.

Yea,I just recently installed a decent sound system in my car,now listen to music much louder.With the extra volume,yes my shifting has become much sloppier I noticed,hopefully I can adjust over time.
