Ok so I did a search and figured that it's impossible to adjust the clutch engagement point and what not on my GSR because it has a hydraulic clutch.

The thing is I'm teaching my girlfriend how to drive my car so she can take it to and from work. She can drive it OK now BUT she's only 5' tall and has a real hard time getting the clutch pedal down all the way even with the seat all the way forward.

So what are my options? I was thinking about just attaching a block of wood or something to the clutch pedal LOL, help me out guys!

 

get her some 5 inch thick heel shoes
i never had the prob but have you tryed couple sofa pillows to make her more forwarD?
er might hit stering wheel..
dunno man

 

haha true. maybe like a special "driving/platform shoe" that she can wear on her left foot while she drives to work.

cmon guys seriously, i know there has to be some other short legged people who drive gsr's, any other ideas?

 

i have the shortest legs of anyone, im 5'5. i buy pants that are 28" in length and usually get 4-5" hemmed.... sooooo i dont think ur gf should be having any problem considering my legs are literally 2 feet tall.

is the seat propped up right? cuz if shes leaning back (which is the worst, not to mention the gayest looking way to drive) then yeah shell be having problems with reaching the pedals. i sit with the seat almost all the way forward and almost all the way up.

good luck with shorty..

 

you dont have to push your pedal all the way down to engage/disengage do you? - mines like 1.5 inches in tops, and hydraulic

 

look on the bottom of the pedal on mine you can see some threads and some how or another you can thread it so the pedal goes up higher and so it will engauge/ disengauge sooner and at a higher point

 

thanks for the replies! man ok so I'm an idiot, for the past couple years since I've owned my car I've been under the assumption that you HAD to press the clutch down all the way to properly engage/disengage it.

After reading your responses, on my morning commute I tried pressing the pedal down only slightly below the engagement point and damn, it worked without a problem. I can't believe I never figured that out after almost 5 years of driving this car. thanks again!
