The most annoying issue with my 4BW is the clutch engagement height. When starting off in 1st the clutch engages at approximately the mid-point of the total travel. Unfortunately the engagement point for all upshifts is much closer to the floor - roughly 1/4 of the total travel.
Sixty years of driving manuals have conditioned my muscles to remember the engagement point for starting off and I automatically use that height subsequently, which causes a lurch during upshifts in the BW as the clutch engages abruptly while I'm moving it rapidly upwards to the initial engagement height. I can get smooth upshifts if I consciously override what my muscles want to do, but in 2000 miles they still haven't learned the new clutch pattern.
I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. If it is uncommon perhaps something in my clutch was not set up correctly and possibly it could be corrected.
