Low GEAR. FIRST. People who have driven MTX for a while know they have to adjust to the new setup, it is a given. The steep low and second have been a thing now in cars for well over 30 years. It does get worse with every increase in gears, from 4 speed to 5 and 5 speed to 6.
ALL cars use pretty much a dry clutch, it is rare not to. The hydraulic does not mean the clutch, it means the actuating method, hydraulic still being a dry clutch. You're talking the difference in throwout bearing type there not the clutch.
Gear size is irrelevant to shifting ease, the cars you mention all have gears so small I would be laughing at them. It is the rpm drop between the ratios that makes it harder to shift. All cars space the gears further apart in the lower numbers and space them closer and closer together the faster the car is going, it's a best use of physics thing.
