pedals
Is it me or is the gas pedal awkward?
I am 5'8", long torso'd... so when I have the seat adjusted to where I can push the clutch in and somewhat pointy toed, my right leg seems too long and is awkward feeling where I am holding my foot back ( If I rest it , it will pretty much floor the gas pedal ) so whats the issue with this ??? Ive owned several manuals (88 and 90 Daytonas, Suzuki Samurai to name a few ) and never had the issue like this.... only way I see comfortable is rest my foot on the center hump but that in itself is awkward when going from gas to brake and back. Is there a way to move the gas pedal back more or raise the clutch pedal????
Drove around a few hours yesterday and today and I just cant find that comfort zone with either, whats the secret?

My seat isn't all the way back, but if so the gas pedal feels good but then I can disengage the clutch properly.... Trying to find that happy medium?
It seems if the seat was higher it would be fine but they are really low as well... and this is the only complaint I have with the car so far.
**update** I moved the seat back 1 notch and gas pedal feels better but not 100% yet the clutch is a reach to fully disengage...hmmm ?

Id actually be happy if I can get the gas pedal further away...lol

oh, it's safe. most aftermarket pedal covers come with 4 claws with screws you tighten over the stock pedals. it just clamps to the factory pedal in the back, unless you screw them on directly to the factory pedals.

I'm picturing them dragging on the ground behind you, Just wondering how they snagged on the back of a pedal besides lack of gravity?

The Fit, the pedals are real close, I'm constantly hitting the gas with the brakes, so eventually Ill find that comfort zone I hope.
