my clutch feels way too soft to me. it shifts fine....but here are couple of things i noticed. sometimes its hard to take it out of first gear. i got it used i dont remember if it was that way when i bought it. it got 62K on it. one more thing is, i dont have to depress my clutch all the way to shift once it starts moving and it does not engage untill the clutch is almost all the way..close to 3/4. i dont smell any burning or anything.....no squeaking noise. car is honda civic 2001, dx with 1.7L
