That's not been my experience at all. I've owned and driven lots of cars over the decades with hydraulic clutches that have really good feedback and the engagement point has little to do with it being hydraulic. The big detriment to the Camaro clutch feel seems to be the clutch bias valve (looks like a big black knob attached the the clutch hydraulic line near the clutch pedal). I've never been able to find a good explanation for what it's supposed to do or what's going on inside of it. But when I installed my Hayes clutch pedal height adjuster (see my previous post), the bias valve was removed, and that alone got rid of a lot of the non-linearity of the feel. I have my suspicions that the bias valve may be some kind of clutch protection device that forces you to treat the clutch more like an on/off switch rather than letting it slip. But it makes getting the engagement right a royal PITA!

You can try physically adjusting the linkage from inside the car to give you a little more or less travel , but it has never really worked for me.

The only way to get any meaningful adjustment of the pick-up height is something like the height adjuster I mentioned previously
