below is most of the story from another thread. but im still looking for ideas and or options.

"2 fast on the gas thump...

anyone else find their right foot is faster than your left?

even when shifting slow I find my self thumping the system with a slopy shift as my right foot gets on the gas faster than I get off the clutch.

not a problem if your going all out but im sure its not good all the time. i have no idea how to get my feet to work together right.

is there a such thing as a shorter throw clutch pedal lever. like 3/4 of stock travel length?"


"I had the car for a long long time, or so it seams , since 99, but only this last year did I have a good clutch. up to 200,400 miles it was still on the original clutch, it was ok cause long as I floated it, she was fine. so I got real use to being slow on the clutch, cause once it started slipping, it was all over. and smelly too. I let the clutch go till the tranny went, [3rd gear was noisy] then I re did it all even clutch cylinders and lines.

I am more use to bikes, if my brain uses the same or wrong code, on a bike as fast and you can get off and back on the gas you can just let go of the clutch. but in the car its not like that.

just seams you have to lift your leg/foot too much to get off the sucker.

on a bike you can just let go and snap it shut, in the thirdgen its so long and up in the firewall.

drive my moms 96 escort once in a while with no problems, it has a nice short throw clutch, i do stall it sometime as I forget how fast it come on and my right foot is not on the gas enough.

a escort clutch system would be nice, hmmmm
thirdgen one seams too much like a truck.

its not really my foot but the clutch system, but cause of the clutch system, it hard to keep my foot doing what it should. my natural reflex for it is not working as well as it does on a short throw clutch system."

 

Thinking over this post im noe thinking t an interior problem. Im having to keep my seat at the 5' 6" position instead of all the way back in the 6'+ position.

with the seat all the way back the pedals are not hard to reach but to get that full range of motion i need to pull it up a bit. This could be why it harder to get my foot off the clutch, im sitting with my long as legs bent and getting them off the pedal fast enough is a matter of room.

I'm 6'2" by the way. any other tall stick shift owners know whay i am saying hehehhe

 

I know what you mean, I'm also your height. I just put a Centerforce Dual Fric. in, and I'm still getting used to it.

However I keep the seat back all the way, I can't get in unless.
