My nomenclature doesn't match yours so please explain.

"feather the clutch out." Is this when you're releasing the clutch pedal to engage the clutch?

"have on inch and a half of play till it's all the way out". Are you saying the clutch stays engaged until the pedal is 1-1/2" from the top.

Finally, I'm not familiar with the term more clutch. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I have about 1-1/2" of free play before the throw out bearing starts to engage the pressure plate and begins to release the clutch. I haven't measured the distance it takes to release from the top or re-engage from the bottom but it's the way it was from the factory. Most of the time it's the function of the pressure plate but worn parts can affect it.
