Thanks for your interest though

I went from a floor mounted to a top mounted then back to a floor mounted.

I don't find myself have problem using them because of the difference of the pivot point, but yes, it does take a bit of time to adjust my heel-toe.

In your case with AT, it will be more simple to adjust.

What makes the difference on your 'feel' on the gas pddal are mostly: The type of your shoes And the stiffness of the pedal.

Simply: Yes
