Soft t5 clutch options

I bought my wife a few years ago an 87 formula that originally had an lb9/m5 combo... I dont mind driving the car personally, but the clutch is a bit on the stiff side... I would get tired of driving it if i had to as well... I know there is no adjustment, but what options are there for a quality clutch and a soft push?

Thanks

John

I don't have any experience with them, but I've heard that Centerforce's dual friction clutches have a pretty light pedal feel.

Go to a brake and clutch rebuilder. Tell them what you want. New diaphragm or springs possibly. They can measure the release pressure.

Centerforce dual friction is a pretty mild clutch. The wife has no problem driving.
