Question any way to make the clutch easier to push?
Currently mine is HEAVY. I just want mine to be as light as a cobalt. Would I have to change any hydraulics or do a twin disc?

Twin Disc? Lighter? You're f.ckin high. That's like kicking a building over. And get off the cobalt thing dude, this isn't a cobalt. You need that strong pressure plate clamping pressure with being boost'd like you, otherwise you can kiss your clutch good bye.

Well, does a 05 TC have a hydraulic clutch pedal?

I lol'd at the building thing. Haha.

I'd hit the gym.

Also, just looking at a few of your posts, do you even want a tC? You seem to dwell on what the tC doesn't do. maybe you should go buy a Cobalt.

Try changing the clutch cable (WINK,WINK), or hit some squats.

Try the TRD clutch, that's a leg press compared to the stocker... worst clutch I've ever felt was a Stag 2 clutch in a '98 cobra, that really was like kicking a brick wall... gym is your best bet

Start driving heavy equipment, after that your clutch will feel like a light switch haha

Get a stage 1 or something. That will be plenty and have plenty of hold to transfer that extra power to the ground. Should be a nice upgrade for you.

Yup, my buddy had to have his serviced.

Also Stage 1 or 2 would be good for Justin
