i am 5'7", and i don't stall the car in daily driving, but the long travel of the clutch and hitting the
steering wheel will no doubt affect my driving in DE.

there is a long dead space before the engagement point, which delay power to the wheel between
shifting.

IMHO, i should be able to keep my heel on the ground and press down with my toe to operate the
clutch. This way, the action is quick and precise.
However, to do so with 991, you will need size 15 shoe size......

Over the years I have found that most cars are made with the middle range height person in mind. It is unusual for someone your height to have issues like that. Most problems come from being too tall or too short, not in the middle like you or I are.

I am 5' 8.5" tall and had no issues driving any of the several 911 MTs (turbo and standard 911 S variants) I test drove over a couple years before buying my TTS. My Salesman really earned his commission with me.

I am 5'9 and have adjusted seat tilt and steering wheel and have no issue shifting or with entry or exit. No one, I believe, is trying to be unkind, even though that does happen here, but I believe it is possible to find the right position with continued adjustment.

I'm 6' 2" with a 34" inseam. The brake pedal is too high for me if I adjust the seat position for the gas pedal. Obviously the clutch is also too high. Hight adjustments would be helpful.

Default Pedal height

Wondering if there was any resolution to the pedal adjustment question. My legs are on the longer side and the brake pedal is too high relative to the gas pedal for me. Is buying a new brake push rod and having it shortened the solution?
