I just drove a BMW the other day. I like the clutch, it's non hydraulic. Would there be a way to reduce the hydraulic efficiency of the clutch system in our vehicle? I'm not suggesting I'd like to go full-on non-hydraulic, but what would I have to do in order to get a firmer feeling out of the current hydraulic setup, or modified?

I already did, it makes it a firmer engaugement, but i want a stiffer pedal. Something I have to put some ass into to make it go down.

This would be getting a stronger pressure plate. Something like what comes with a Stage 3 or 4 clutch will give you a really strong pedal.

youd barely notice a stronger pressure plate, since we have a hydraulic clutch.

I commute from parish to syracuse (25miles) every day and when im stuck in traffic i get kinda sick of the cable clutch, you may have liked it more just because it was in a beemer and it was something you equated with quality, but after driving the lude for a while and getting into the tib its a huge relief, and thats WITH the stage 3...

Yea its fun to drive something like that every once in a while, like my Corvette.

Then you need to hold it on a hill, draining all the strength in your leg, because the E-brake on Corvettes don't hold for shit.
