Anthony,
The trigger allows for you to feather. For example, I move the trigger 1mm, the clutch moves 1cm. It's not an all or nothing. It's tricky to find the sweet spot however considering there is NO resistance feedback on the trigger. It's kind of a mix between using a hand clutch on a motorcycle and shifting a car on a video game with a controller.

The response from trigger pull to clutch pedal movement is instant with no lag. The Italian company I got the system from (Guidosimplex) mentioned that many rally drivers have installed this system because of the responsiveness and the speed at which it pulls/feathers the clutch pedal. It will just take time for me to build up the muscle memory (fingers in relation to palm) and engine sounds to know when I'm at the 'sweet spot' with the trigger while shifting. It reminds me of trying to find the sweet spot when I was first learning to shift a manual.

Too bad I don't have enough time to take it up to the London show this year. I'd love to show the system off as well as the rest of the car the Dwight and the crew have helped me put together.
