This may not help, as I don't have a TSW, but I do have an analog clutch,
operated by the left paddle of my TMGP1.  I find the engagement point so narrow
as to be nearly button-like in effect, and don't bother with it anymore for
starts. Of the paddle's full throw (about 1.75 in.), clutch activation only
uses about .25 in.  I get better, more consistent starts without it.  About the
only times I use it are fanning it now and then to get the revs up without
downshifting, motocross-style, and to spin the car back around quickly whenever
I find myself backwards on the track!  Don't know what a TSW clutch goes for,
but don't expect too much in GPL performance gain from it.

I have and ECCI CDS4000 with a clutch, not a TSW, but compared to the TM
Nascar Pro (my previous wheel) where you have to use a button for a clutch,
I now typically blow most drivers off the line when on-line racing.  Enough
said.

Do you use the clutch at any other time?  I know that you don't really
have to, but I was wondering if anyone with an analog clutch was using
it not just at the start but while driving in GPL in general.  Like,
does anyone do any heel/toe downshifting to make this already
challenging sim even more challenging (possibly to the point of too
much realism)?  This is probably an ignorant and ***ic question,
I know.  :)
