Only option is to change out the spring. Or you can take it out completely but then the clutch pedal will have a lot of play sense there is no longer any tension. If you do either of these changes and do not like it.

Then you can get this
370Z & G37 AFP Clutch Pedal Assemblies - *RJM Performance.com

This will allow you to adjust it more to your liking. My bet is for you to save up those pennies and go this route. Cuz I doubt the first two options will fix the issue you are having. Check out our vendors that offer this product to get a better deal.

On my 2014 compared to my 2011, the difference in clutch engagement is night and day. It feels to me like Nissan redesigned the clutch pedal or are using a different helper spring between the two model-years. I feel no desire to make any changes to my 2014, whereas I always found the 2011 a little hard to drive smoothly, especially that 1st - 2nd gear shift.

Thanks for all the replies.

Well this car may be different but my shifting method doesn't effect anything besides extra time. I do shift normally and its a small difference.

When you shift with it being higher rpms, you are relying on motor and tranny mounts to do the work for you, which is their purpose, but thats what i think granny shifting is. Just like downshifting if you upshift at the exact rpms, its a smooth transaction, not "lower".

I think the rev matching is awesome creation. But people will no longer have to do any work, you might as well buy a 7at.

But everything is fine now. I'm just dealing with it
