Default Textralia OZ700 Z grip...grabby?

I installed this clutch and have been patient during break in, hoping it would get a little better but man this thing is grabby as ****. Its awful in stop and go traffic and I havent been able to find a way to make it smoothly engage, I look like I dont know how to drive a manual. lol.

Im just looking for reinforcement that this is how all performance clutches will be. I was looking at switch up to an X grip or a McLeod RST since they arent puck style clutches.

1) The Tex OZ-700 Requires ZERO break in.

2) The Z grip is a Man's clutch and expected to be driven line one. You can though slip it, it can handle it. The X grip has an organic side designed for street manners in mind.

Tex's orginal website mentioned more about this but just going on there, its more sales based so you will have to search for proceedures, I installed mine going on 3 years ago and been fine.
