Did I not lower the clutch properly?

Easier to adjust your own technique if you ask me.

Some cars show up in such a way that they are almost unusable the engagement is so high.

Mine was funky, but useable, so I just got used to it.

Honestly, the Z is the hardest car for me to drive clutch wise. I can not get smooth shifts or anything the like. After thinking about it it is because my engagement point is damn near at the top of the pedal throw.

It's pretty annoying and I hope this is something I can do to fix it.
