The cure for the clutch is either a new cable and or swap the lifter arm (the bit the sticks up through the clutch housing) for one from an 06 model that has the 1050 cases like the one that Boethius has, above. The lever that the cable attaches to is longer which lightens the pull.
The other thing to get a smoother gear change is to keep the chain on the loose side of the adjustment range. About 50mm slack is about right. However, I disagree that you need to pull bags of cable to get a smooth change. Mine will swap cogs without using the clutch at all. It's actually the best way....going up the box.

I might look into that. Thanks !!
Yeah, up-changes are fine. Down changes are a bitch though.
Will the lifter arm out of the 06 work in my 02 cases ??? Do you know ??
