My 1999 had 73,000 miles when I purchased last fall. I have driven manual off and on all my life, though I have had automatic for the past few years.
I kept feeling some chatter first thing in the morning, and in certain situations. The clutch engage point was about 2-3 inches from the top. This made it hard to drive.
Last month I had my indy install a new clutch, because I didn't want to get into a flywheel replacement by waiting too long. Wow, what a big difference! He told me I came in just at the right time. It was almost ready to start wearing into the flywheel.
Now the car is so much more fun to drive! Clutch engages about 3 inches from the floor, and now I can take off much better.
Maybe that's part of what you are experiencing. A worn clutch can make it more difficult to drive, especially on take off.
