If it's raining or wet outside, you go and walk to your car and your shoes get wet.. when stepping on the clutch, especially if it's really stiff (like mine) it's easy for your foot to slip off and it's harder to keep it steady, plus it makes that noise like walking on wet floors..

anyone else get kind of annoyed by this?

.. I got the idea from another thread

 

i just turn the radio up and don't usually have a problem slipping off

 

you need different shoes....

 

No slipping, but I do get squeaks from between the rubber pedal and the rubber on my running shoes. A couple wipes on my Weather Tech luxury mats and all is well again.

 

thats what happens man. i thought some cheap a$$ pepboys 3a pedals would do the trick hahaha ...but no.
what can you do? at least its not raining all the time

 

just walk with your right foot normally and the left on its heel

problem solved

 

My cheap a$$ pepboys 3a pedals don't slip or make noise when they're wet, and I wear 8 different pairs of footwear?

 

YES!!

The previous owner of my car did get those cheapo pedals too not for looks but rather PREVENT slippage, but i dunno why there isn't one on the freakin clutch pedal. It JUST started raining this week and i noticed that. Definately on the list of my "rain" items i'd like to buy because this is my first time in the rain in my max... so far: new wiper blades, clutch pedal, clear plastic mats, sunroof wind deflector, and probably splash gaurds.

how do u ppl w/ those completely metallic pedals survive on rainy days?!

 

I assume that the previous owner left the clutch pedal cover out because it may have prevented the clutch pedal from being fully depressed. A lot of pedal covers out there have long screws and brackets that stick out too far from behind.

 

ohh that makes sense, thanks!

 

Me too, no slipping here:wall"

 

i get a nice clutch chatter when it's moist out

 

ahem:

.....unless ....nah

 

I'm getting AE pedals..

Those 3A racing pedals from pepboys are plastic or something right?

I just thought about this but.. the squeak might also be coming from my rubber floor mats and when i slide my heal on them however, i do slip around the clutch a little bit...

i'm going to try cranking the heat and direct it to the footwell next time to dry my sneakers faster

 

I get a squeek when I take my foot of the clutch, it bothers me a little but then I turn on Tatu - Ya soshla s uma and its all good.

 

The only reason for this is the rubber mat that covers your stock floor mat. I always remove mine in the rain, and therefore never have this problem. Otherwise, its like driving another car and you can get yourself in a dangerous situation, especially someone like me with size 15 shoes.

 

I know! He needs to stop wearing those "off the rack and into the paper bag" plastic sole sneakers from Pathmark.

 

 

What are you talking about? I get my **** from Payless

 

Payless is better than Pathmark????

 

I think I have had less than 8 pairs of shoes in the course of my life.

sometimes my foot almost slips off the clutch, that ****es me off.. i have the AE pedals though, and they have decent grip. when your sneakers get dry, then they practically stick to the pedals lol, that can also be annoying

 

I got my Air Dikembe Mutombos from Payless

 

Same size here. The worst part was trying to learn to drive stick in a 71 VW bug with these big feet. When going for both the gas and clutch I would manage to hit the Clutch brake and gas. And since the break would get stuck on my feet it would go down as far as the clutch or gas..... made for some very intresting burnouts in the leanring period.

Try big feet and long legs.

 

hehe you must have lots of fun with that ... but at 6'2 mine are not all that far behind you.

I've always wanted to be taller (5'11) and here i am listening to u guy ***** about being tall!!!

rain sucks

 

i like yer sig howd ya do that?

 

You are lucky enough to have a 5 spd max, therefore you have no right to be annoyed. Just be glad it's not auto.

 

Luckily for me I've only recently been able to wear size 14-15. When I was heavier earlier on in life, (6'3 240), I used to wear a size 16 and one time even a size 17(At age 17) even though weight usually doesnt affect shoe size, I really dont know what happened there. Now I'm 6'3 210(Most people say I look like I'm no more than 180) so things are a lot better, Maxima's fit me like a glove.

 

what's worse is when your foot slips off the clutch and the pedal puts a huge frikkin bruise on your shin. never happened in the MAx, but I did that a few times in dad's 63 Ford.. biggest problem I have is that I can't hell-toe in this car because my feet are too wide.. and I only wear size 11.. I can't imagine how you sasquatch with your size 15s drive a car like this!

 

your feet shrunk??

 

my brake pedal is bent slightly to the right. Never bothered to straighten it...I tell people it's for heel=toe (which I cant do anyway!)

 

I wear a size 11 and I ussually wear boots, In the max its no problem, but my freind had a Del Sol and man are those pedals close, I cant tell you how many times Ive hit the gas and brake at once. yo have to have you feet completely vertical to make it work lol.

 

From the age of 9 - 15 my age always matched my shoe size. Once I would turn say 10 or so my shoes would need a new size within a month or so.
