Short Leg problems, how do you guys deal with it?
 
Hello,

I have pretty short legs (also being 5'6 doesn't help) so when I sit in my Z I have to move the seat quite far forward to the point where my body is super close to the steering wheel, which I've heard is bad because airbags and etc.

However if I don't move it that close it's really awkward for me to try to press the clutch pedal all the way down because my legs are extended fully straight

Anyone else have this problem?

I've used pieces of wood on the pedals before.

Not sure if any of these apply to the 370Z, but worth looking into.

5'6 isn't that short...no offense, I'm trying to picture someone with short legs but a longer top body and it's kind of hard for me to...

PS - I'm 5'7 and a half-ish and I don't think I have that issue...although I do drive like a granny style (hunched over the steering wheel) sometimes just for fun or when I'm trying to look for parking, etc..

I am just at 5 7 on a good day......no problem in the Z and I am not up close to the steering wheel at all. However, when I push in the clutch my leg is fully extended ...

I'm 5' 6" with 29" inseam. No problem for me. I do tilt the seat back because I don't like to sit straight up.

Hostile? Really?

I did not see a single hostile response. Well OK maybe Ken's, but that's normal. :stirthepot:

And honestly, I used to be 4". No lie.

Does the RJM clutch pedal allow the pedal to be adjusted physically higher? or just the engagement point?
