Clutch foot.

[sonicBoom55]

So I got a 1.8 Manual after years of driving autos, and I've been getting pain in the mid section of my foot around where it bends... Is this "Clutch foot"?? Sometimes its extremely painful.
Any tips on prevention?
Any tips on pain relief?? Thanks
Wasn't sure if to post here or General

I used to get a cramp in the middle of my foot back when i first started driving a stick when i was 16, then i started driving bare foot so i could "stretch out" my foot. now i hate driving with shoes on

Wear harder soles and sit close enough that you're not using your toes... which can be difficult given the large difference in actuation distance from the accelerator and brake pedalsARE YOU READING THIS GENERAL MOTORS!?*



*2nd generation Mazda Miata. Perfect model for pedal placement and clutch throw. Rent one, measure it, emulate it.

Yeah I've noticed if I move my seat closer Ifeel TOO close. Even if I push the telescopic all the way in. :blankface:

This happens with any muscles or joints which have long gone unused, when you first start using them.

Solution one, stretch, exercise, and most importantly, drive more often. If necessary, get some chiropractic or massage help.

Solution two, Clone yourself, and have the clone drive stick from the beginning.

i'd go with option 2, the clone can also do your chores!!

Can't say I've had this problem, just that sometimes when I drive my clutch leg is twitchy and being smooth with the clutch gets dicey.

It's like when I hopped on a motorcycle after not riding for four years. My left leg would get a WICKED cramp after some spirited shifting.

Screw the chores... Send the clone to WORK for you and you hit the beach

I don't want a clone...... I'm worried things might get sexual.:sadbanana:
