Clutch issues.......maybe?

Hey guys, first off i just want to say that everything you post up here is awesome and its great to see that us TSX owners have a great online community here. Now for the question. I have had my 6MT TSX for about 6000 miles now and everything has been great. Just last week i have noticed that as i release the cluth, it feels like it is a little more rough then it has been. It has always been smooth going down and coming up but now on the way up its like i feel the engine more. ITs hard to say what feeling it is its just not what it used to be. Has anyone else felt this or what. Maybe it just needs to be greased up a little more, i'm not sure. Any ideas would be great thanks.

I felt that since the first day i drove off the lot. I thought this was normal, as the car is designed so that you get that 'direct' feel when engaging/disengaging the clutch..?

I've driven an M/T mazda 3 and i can barely feel the engagement point, but that did provide less jolt when changing gears.

My mazda 6 does what you described sometimes. Happens when I rev it up to 4500rpm and press and release the clutch. I have been back to the dealer and they say its fine.

I am guessing why higher torque/hp cars the clutch has to handle more and has "feedback".

My last car was a mtx, a ford hatch zero problems. but again it only has 130 torque.
