A habit I picked up from learning stick on BMWs is to not fully push in the clutch after first gear. From what I was told by a "master tech", it was pointless on some BMWs because half way in was already full travel in the gear box. I understand however not all cars are like this.

I was wondering if anyone knew what case it is in the six speed on the 987S? Does the entire clutch travel correspond 1:1 with the gearbox or is it a similar situation where fully pressing in the clutch is pointless after first gear? I can certainly drive much smoother when I don't fully press down on the clutch after first gear.
