I also noticed smoother clutch take-up.
Demon's clarification is right, it's the one mounted to transmission vs. engine.
The bolts, after 7years, didn't need much torque to take off. Little bit of PB Blaster and came off with hand tools. BTW, loosen one of the top bolt on trans side but don't take it all out. It will help immensely during reassembly.
