My clutch is way too stiff, maybe I should drop some friction modifiers in haha

On the topic of friction reducing 'super' lubricants, molybdenum disulphide appears to be safe, Haynes makes regular reference to areas in the engine that can use a coating ie. crank bearing surfaces, cams etc. The real nasty in terms of clutch performance is PTFE and associated compounds.
