Alright, boosted!!!

There aren't much for me to say... other than the fact you really have to know your clutch to determine feeling soft or feels like your left leg would have muscle spasm for being so hard.

Just because clutch pedal feels soft that des not automatically translate to weaker engagement, visa versa.

My FC, for example, has Centerforce DF installed after a tragic disk shattering event. My existing clutch, in spite of excellent gripping force, has traffic jam friendly pedal pressure. Although the clutch system I had to replace was not stock its pedal pressure has always been tight and feels as though you have an excellent workout on your left foot after an hour or so driving in traffic.

Since you claim yourself a beginner, word of advise to you is always engage clutch fully between shifts to reduce unnecessary wear & tear to your system!

Yes, your friend may say you can shift w/o engaging clutch. So can I! But you'd be abusing your gear box and find lot of "shinys" on your next gear oil change.
