Clutch Foot???

Hey ho...
ok is it just me or does anyone else have this problem,only for manuals but you know some times when ur cruzin round,specially in heavy traffic and u have to keep pressing and depressing the clutch,does anyone else get a really sore leg/foot,i know i do,maybe i need to work more on that leg at the gym or something but it is really annoying eh...is there any remedy for such an occurance?blimey it gets to me,especially around maybe 1-2 am all those stress's on ur leg and if ur racing at illegal street races which i dont of course,this must be a huge discomfort,oh well I guess car yards will need to put them on the cars"This Car drives extremely well,low km's5speed, airbags,alloys but watch out for the clutch foot"they need that sort of warning out i feel..
well have a think about it.cheers Greg.

oh hell yes
i had to have 2 operations on my knee from crisket when i was 14

so my clutch leg is basically fucked up - cant strain it for anylength of time, and i have dislocated it a once just turning around as i stand up.
one day i got clutch foot so bad i had to drive with one foot, cos my other was in too much pain to move, and nearly crashed

cramps up real bad too

I don't get a sore left leg driving my Honda, many years of playing Rugby was actually good for something.

Mugen`: I really hope you mean "wasted" as in "exhausted" because we all know only a completely fuckin' brainless retard would get behind the wheel affected by drink and/or drugs. More so if that person drives a modified car.

Vent: Okay, I was a little harsh and wasn't trying to ram my opinions down anyones throat. That would make me no better than someone who likes to drive late model Ozzy assembled RWD sedans fitted with disco lights and tartan print decals.

I figure if you drive a modified vehicle you're going to get a hard enough time as is - without the added complications that getting busted for driving under the influence will bring.

Just lookin' out for y'all

lol clutch foot in your car

OK drive a car with a heavy pressure plate, twin plate or similar.

I am glad that I have a rather light pressure plate, although it is probably heavier than all honda's with it being 2000+lbs.

GTS4-Ben has a good point maybe it has to do with the force it take to push the clutch down.....My DA6 is soooo easy its like its not even there
