But - in addition to the other suggestions given: some cars have longer and others a shorter throw in the clutch. Most new stick drivers tend to depress the clutch all the way down - when it's not needed. In a longer throw this could give you a little rougher shift as the engine revs a tad higher in between the shift. If you are depressing all the way - try not so much and see what happens. Most VW's I have driven had a pretty short throw - but that was a long time ago -
Goes along with Pete's post and the friction deal.
Good luck!

the TSX definately has a much longer throw than the jetta.... I'll give that a try on my way to work tomorrow.
