To eliminate this possibility, adjustment of the stopper is important, so that the length of the pedal travel is correct.

Do I have this correctly understood? Anyway, I still have trouble to get the gearshift lever out of gear as the trans gets hot.
This is not correct. The spring might get easier but the clutch pressure plate will release more the further you push on the pedal. If you go too far you will start to get noise from stuff rubbing in the bell housing.
