When I first got the car the clutch felt real heavy. It was almost hard to drive the car without jerking every time I switched gears because it grabbed so fast an just felt so heavy. I'm now at 6500 miles an within the last 500 miles the clutch has changed completely. It's now really light and doesn't grab until about half way released. Is this normal? Also idk if its me being paranoid or what but I feel like I can smell the clutch sometimes after beating on the car a bit. It never happened the first 6000 miles. I just got dyno tuned an the car made 435 whp an 410tq but I'm assuming the stock clutch should be able to hold that power with no problem.

As the clutch wears and pressure plate springs break in this is common. I notice it on damn near every standard shift vehicle I've owned.

I had a truck that seemed to do the opposite. Pedal was way too light and got stiffer over time.
