Need tips how to shift smoothly

And tell me why don't you have an RJM pedal assembly again?

The 'kick back' is in the stock pedal assembly. There is a pivot point in the pedal travel even with the spring completely removed. I have an OEM one sitting on my garage floor and could demonstrate this. The RJM pedal is completely smooth and linear. Plus you can adjust the engagement

It doesn't help that the throttle response is very muted at low rpms in low gear in the stock tune. I found my aftermarket tune helped me with more consistent throttle control when modulating the clutch.

Honestly I thought the OEM assembly felt fine without a spring, I just didn't like the 'slop' so I installed the lighter spring. I think Nissan shouldve had the light spring from the factory. I also adjusted the stock clutch travel via a DIY i saw on the 350 forum. I've read a lot of rave reviews on the RJM, but it's not at the top of my list for mods right now since I'm content with the clutch with these two mods

I ran OEM for 2.5 years. I just adjusted and had no issues. After removing the spring, I meant to purchase the lighter spring. But I'm a procrastinator who lucked out because 4 months later my wife purchased the RJM clutch pedal assembly for me for my birthday. I have seen the light now. The OEM pedal is complete garbage. Had I known the truth about the RJM pedal at the time of purchase, it would have been the first mod on the car.

In trying to "help" people operate the clutch, Nissan has just impeded those who do know how to operate a clutch from getting the most out of the vehicle.

This was the first time ever. It was a long struggle, but I finally won. Don't give up
