Depends on type of car and type of clutch. Tell us more information.

The clutch on an ERA can be moved a couple inches by adjusting the shaft between the clutch pedal and the slave cylinder.

Olthoff offers brake and clutch pedal extensions and can modify your gas pedal to match. I'm considering this mod over the winter. I'm 5'8" and have a Superformance. I run my seat way up and really have to stretch the legs.

This has been an issue for me for years, good post.

I e-mailed Olthoff and have received no response.

You mean duct tape and piece of 2X4 on the bottom of the shoes won't work.

I'm also 5'8" and built like my screen name, meaning I have short legs and a larger upper body.

I just kind of slouch in the seat and that lowers my upper body so I don't look like a big ape in the seat, and allows me to reach the pedals without any issues. If I do sit upright, then I do have issues reaching the pedals.

Just received my "clutch extension" from Olthoff (Superformance in NC - see photo). Can anyone out there tell me what one does with this thing? I have no idea how this gets my clutch pedal closer to my foot.

Default ERA extension

Doug made me a set of extenders, as I had a problem even after they moved the pedal as far as they could. These bolt into the original holes in the pedal.

Steve:
It's been so cold here since the end of November that I decided to wait until spring to do (or try) the installation. I did call Dennis in North Carolina and he assured me that it would do the job. I still have my doubts. At any rate should the snow ever melt and the temps get above 60 degrees I'll be out in the garage giving it a shot.

BTW, I did roll the car out into the driveway last Saturday (high 50s) and run the engine until the oil reached 140 degrees.

Steve:
The temp finally got above 60 degrees here in Connecticut so I got busy installing the gismo Dennis sent to me last fall. The piece is really worthless. Instead of getting the clutch pedal closer it makes it longer. Don't waste your money on this piece.
