Instead of picking up my whole foot/leg while letting out the clutch pedal, I kinda slide the pedal under my foot while letting it out. My foot is always touching the floor while I let the pedal out. Is this the wrong way of letting out the pedal because I'm lazy? It seems smoother for my to do it that way rather than using my whole leg. Any thoughts?

 

if you slide your foot out of the way, won't the pedal fly back up hard and cause a rough engagement? i usually use my whole leg because i have more control over the clutch that way

 

What you're explaining is sidestepping the clutch. I think he's doing what I do, works for some people.

Just like how you modulate your throttle with the heel of your foot on the floor, we're also modulating the clutch with the heel on the floor. I find it easier to do this way.
