Is there any way WHATSOEVER to make a clutch softer to press?

I like manual transmission, a lot more fun to drive, but the clutch is doing a number on my left hip/knee/hamstring.

 

You need to exercise if a clutch is hurting your leg.
Or readjust your seat.

well a cluth does mechanical work, so there will be some resistance

Some more information would be helpful, such as the car make, model, year, and etc. Also, do you have a conventional or a hydraulic clutch?

Dual friction clutch, or increase the leverage of the pedal.

Failing this, convert it to auto.

That shouldn't be difficult at all, check with your dealer.

WOW...YOU'RE A SISSY.

Get yourself an aftermarket clutch pedal and mount it as low as possible. This will give you more leverage. Just make sure the bottom edge doesn't touch the floor when the pedal is all the way in.

see, his gf drives one...why cant you

 

[TomKazansky]

are you even on aftermarket clutch? it's stock right? i find that amazing.

My friend's sister drives an integra with a stage 3 clutch and she never complains about how hard it is.

My friend though, complains about it all the time =P.

Move your seat closer so you get more leverage. Your leg should still be slightly bent with the clutch all the way to the floor.

I think the only way to make the clutch easier to press is with a lightweight flywheel.

my friends 93 mr2... damn that clutch is a pain. heh. I drove it one night.. honestly did not remember it being so difficult to push in... after getting my 3.. i went back to his car and was strugglin.. heh.

Fly wheel , iam not sure of. But a softer clutch spring will do the trick

whats with all these comments about being a wuss? it has nothing to do with that, if my leg hurts its not something I can control you idiots. Just because certain things hurt some people and do not hurt others is no reason to be intolerant or make stupid comments.

 

[bmacd]

on my bike, you can buy aftermarket springs. This may be an option for you.

Get a bigger leg?

 

[BatmanNate]

Start cycling. My leg used to get tired after a 1.5hrs plus in rush hour traffic on the freeway, but cycling has done wonders. I could now knock your head clean off, like Chuck Norris.

www.nasioc.com should beable to help you more than this site. Might also point you to a dedicated legacy site, but I cant remember what the site is
