Prior to that, I had also tried the lighter helper spring, and it is helpful.

Absolutely, and the Z is totally driveable with the stock clutch, but if I'm comparing it, there have been other clutches I enjoyed a lot more. I like being able to tweak the height and engagement window of the clutch pedal. For me, the RJM was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

I driven everything from a 3 on the tree to 18 speeds with a split. I had to be able to jump in and adapt to it. The Z is one of the lightest clutch pedals that I ever felt. First time in it. I pushed the clutch pedal and thought is this thing is even working. I installed the helper spring and it does improve the feel of the pedal. It's still a light pedal tho.

Maybe they have fixed it in the newer models. I never had any trouble adjusting to the clutch. The very first engagement was a little different, but after that it was just fine.

I had no trouble using the stock pedal. I just made it better with the spring.

The "jumpiness" is created by a few things.
The Dual Mass flywheel being sprung as well as the clutch causes more drivetrain lash (jumpy #1) The Stock clutch is a self adjuster which causes a very quick roll over of the diaphragm spring in the clutch (jumpy #2) The pedal has a assist spring which eases pressure with foot on floor, This is aggravated even more by #1 and #2 If you replace #1 and #2 with a ZSpeed clutch/flywheel package this all goes away A lot of people blame this on the "Rev Hang" but in reality it really has nothing to due with how the stock clutch drives and also is not because of the heavy flywheel (this is ECM controlled) Old cars used to have "dashpots" on the carb which would slowly bring down the throttle. The rev hang actually allows quicker shifts to the next gear as the RPMs are matched better.

Also jeez this thread got derailed, the original issue was when i was in sport mode and shifting from first to second the car would be in second and I would have to wait for what felt like forever for the RPMs to drop in order to release the clutch. Upgrading to a CMAK and an aluminum flywheel has solved my issues the car is way more fun to drive.
