I'm sure there is a way to adjust the biting point, but I don't know how. I'm sure someone will be able to explain how to change it.

bleed and replace the clutch fluid...you probably have moisture in the system if it hasnt been bleed. When you're in neutral with the clutch out and you quickly push the clutch in and throw it in first the car will jump a little because when the clutch is out the tranny is still spinning with the speed of your engine. When you push the clutch quickly and engage 1st, the clutch hasnt had time to slow down so the backlash jumps the car.

hmm i think i know what your talking about..I could be wrong tho or something could be wrong with my car as well. But if you drove a manual before * like a different car * the clutch on the s2k has to be released more than another cars. When i drive the s2k i have to left go of the clutch about almost half way before the first gear catches on. I doubt anything is wrong with my car since its a 07 but Hey i could be wrong. =). If its not this then i dunno . GL with finding out
That's how mine is, and I have an 07 too.
