Re: EZ-Clutch Pedal Extension
Some Corvette owners really like it, I guess it caters to the under 5'10" crowd. Last edited by kbondra; 02-01-2011 at 08:57 AM. |

Re: EZ-Clutch Pedal Extension
On Bill's site in the Technical Information section I think he says that it is a must with our zf's that you hit the floor with the clutch pedal. Here's the link.
http://zfdoc.com/techinfo.htm If I get any more spinal compression ( nice way of saying I'm short & getting shorter I think! ) I'm going to need to make a block for my clutch pedal......these cars were not meant for people under 5' 7"

Re: EZ-Clutch Pedal Extension
Good article, notice the Warning:
Warning - Shallow clutching is deadly to these transmissions when powershifting. This is why I made the Clutch Pedal Extension. |

Re: EZ-Clutch Pedal Extension
Looking at the design, and the way our Clutch pedals are I don't think it will work without modifying you add on part, let alone drilling our pedal
As for me, I am 6'5" and have no problems depressing the clutch pedal into the engine compartment

This is made for the 5'9" and under crowd. At 6'5" you are probably looking for even more legroom. Yes, the four holes would have to be drilled through the ZR-1 clutch pedal but it will fit on the pedal nicely. |
