It's not how long it is, it's what you do with it..............apparently!
Sorry, back to the clutch, the bite point on my clutch is quite near the top so I only need to depress the clutch halfway at the most to change gear. I guess that means short? The travel to the floor is obviouly long, and unnecessary.

The gear change on my 2.8 is definitely smoother if I press the pedal almost to the floor. The Getrag gearbox on the 4-cylinders and 2.0/2.2 sixes is supposedly smoother than with the stronger ZF boxes fitted to the 2.8/3.0 and Z3M sixes.
Although the change on my 2.8 is smooth, it is a "deliberate" change, not to be hurried, unlike the "knife-through-butter" rifle bolt change on my wife's MX-5.
More satisfying in a way, though, getting it just right!
