I have not driven the car yet and am wondering does the clutch "break in " and get easier to push in? my wife will kill me ... I can deal with it but she wont...
The number of clutch plates does not affect the feel at the pedal.
The pressure plate diaphragm spring, and then the throwout fork/hydraulic cylinder ratio, pedal ratio, determines the pedal effort.
