ATTN: LarryTT... more on seating position

man I can just not get this right!!! I posted a reply on my original post but its way down the page now...

"Ok... if straight is 180.. then my legs are like at 100-115 when i'm NOT pushing in any pedals ...thats too bent isnt it? On the 10 minute drive home my butt went numb and my right leg fell asleep... so I moved back one notch. But now I feel like i'm stretching again... Maybe its just the inssanely long clutch travel on this thing... I can fully depress the clutch with my right foot though...and my leg stays bent left or right at about 160...

dang it this sucks... I just cannot get comfortable in this car... and when I do I have alot of trouble on the 1rst to 2nd shift for some reason. I can hit it great in the position I had it set this morning (before I moved it back one more) now that I moved it I bounce the shift again

wanna come set my seat correctly for me? then you can teach me how to drive...

Hmmm... as for teaching you how to drive... ;-)

Did you just say you could "fully depress the clutch with your RIGHT foot" ??? Typically people use their left foot for clutchwork. But what do I know. I drive an automatic. ;-)

Bill, right foot is correct. You have been driving wrong all these years.

Try crossing your legs next time . . .

No, seriously. To properly set the seat distance one thing to do is press the clutch in with your right foot. Since you have to reach slightly across your body it gives a good distance for your left leg.

Ah. Got it... still was a funny image trying to picture driving down the road with my legs crossed

I usually only do that when I have to wait for the next rest stop. ;-)

Jason Dale adjusted my seating position over two years ago...

And I haven't changed it since. Ok, various service people and guest drivers have changed it, but I always put it back the way he set it. In other words, I firmly believe that someone who knows what they're doing can help you find a seating position that is both comfortable and driveable.

p.s. I cannot wait to see the humorous interpretations of the subject line of this post...
