yeah I have to agree adjusting the clutch like that does not sound like a good idea. If its that much of a problem you might want to get some aftermarket seat and move the mounts.

 

I still don't see the problem being 6'4....there's guys that are 6'7" that drive them comfortably... *shrugs* I'm lost. But I'd move it back before you toast your clutch otherwise if your late to work one morning and your car doesn't start....you'll know why.

 

some people like to sit farther back than others, its a comfort thing. I am only 6'1" and I have the seat all the way back and would like to push it another notch or 2 back. I don't like sitting in the steering wheel.

 

I'm 5'11" and my seat is all the way back too, I have wicked long legs. I don't like sitting in the steering wheel either, but I do have the back of my seat near straight up.

 

As a former Kart racer I like to have the wheel close to me. Look at most race cars (especially sedans) and you will see that the wheel is fairly close to the driver so they have more leverage on the wheel. Instead of steering with your shoulder muscles only, you can use a lot more of your torso muscles. My seat is not all the way back for this reason. One other thing is that if you crash and your limbs are straight, there is more of a chance that you will break bones.

 

Ive only destroyed bones in my foot....as far as breaking goes.

Others are bruised...and all sorts of messed up, twisted dislocated, etc. Mostly muscular tears/rips on my end. And slipped discs

 

I hope you get well soon!! I feel bad for you

 

Could you please explain how you adjusted the pedal? Did the adjustment actually move the pedal such that it is starting to disengage the clutch? Or did it just move the pedal further away from you and kept the same travel to disengage the clutch? I'm thinking that if just moved the pedal, but kept the same disengagement distance, that you can leave it as it is. Shouldn't be putting any load on the throwout bearing or causing any other problems. I find it hard to believe that there is an adjustment built into the clutch pedal that would cause problems. I'll have to look at my clutch to get a better idea of what you are talking about.

If you look under your dash and above the clutch pedal, you will see a small bolt connected to the pedal. You can adjust the pedal in or out. I adjusted mine in, but by doing that I could not push the clutch in as far before it hit the floorboard therefor the clutch would not fully disengage.
