After driving a WRX, I realized how long and clumsy the throw on my clutch pedal is. Here's what I did to help make the clutch pedal feel more responsive and have a shorter throw.
Tools Required:
-Needle-nose pliers
-12mm open end wrench
-14mm open end wrench
Get under you dash and find the master cylinder pushrod right above the gas pedal.

Use your 12mm wrench to undo the locking nut on the backside of the clevis that's threaded onto the master cylinder pushrod.
Then use your pliers to pull out the locking pin on the peg that goes through the clevis's holes.
Turn the clevis clockwise about 4-6 turns, re-insert the peg, and check the new height of the pedal. It should be barely higher than your brake pedal. If it is even with, or lower than your brake pedal, you've screwed the clevis on too far, and you'll risk the clutch not fully engaging.
The result is a clutch pedal that engages sooner, and feels more responsive. I can shift much faster after doing this adjustment.
