If you do encounter that a lot then yes shorter gearing will help, as will a normal organic type clutch if you arent using one already

I drive it 30 miles round trip to work as long as weather permits, Not a lot of stop and go traffic but do encounter it daily, I'd have to say the clutch get released a minimum 30-40 times. It's not really an issue driving but my clutches usually last me 70-80 thousand miles and I doubt this one will make it to 40-50 before it needs replaced. The gear going to be replaced in the near future when I swap to narrowed 9" and run 14" wide tires, At that time I may upgrade the clutch.
