About the only complaint I have about the 2002 6MT I just got is that the brake pedal sits unusually close to the accelerator pedal. The edge of my shoe near the ball of my right foot seems to hang up on the bottom corner of the brake pedal when I use the gas pedal.

Curious if anyone else has noticed this, or is it just the way I use the pedals?

 

How do you put 103 million miles on a 97 Maxima?

 

I have size 12 bobo's and never has an issue driving my 6mt Maxima wearing sneakers, casual & dress shoes, and work boots.

 

A friend of mine wears a size 15 shoe and has no such problem with the pedals. It might just be the way you're used to hitting the pedals. I personally have a habbit of only using my big toe and/or the inside ball of my foot for the gas and clutch pedal and my feet never get hung up on the brake.

 

My bad, it was only 10 million, 300,000 miles. Missed a decimal point

Yes, I tend to drive with my foot 'angled' to the right across the gas pedal. Guess I'll have to develop better foot posture.

 

size 13 shoe no issues

 

13 no issues...i think you are not double clutching when you should

 

Either that, or get rid of your Ronald McDonald shoes.

 

@phatboislim: Haha, what a jokester!

I had the same problem as you, OP. I wear 12 4Es and it took a bit of foot re-training to get my feet out of their own way. The only issue I have now is that the toe/right-side edge of my right foot rubs against the plastic against the firewall down there. I'm glad there is plastic there, as carpeting would have rubbed off long ago, but it squeaks when wet.

Given time, you'll be able to sort everything out.

 

looks like you should have bought an AT --- wanna trade?

 

SLCpunk, what are those things (decals?) on your front bumper?

 

 

ok now thats odd.


I heel and toe a lot when im driving so i actually have bigger pedals, and although the look ugly the help out alot when it comes down to driving, I wear a size 12.5 and i find the pedals to far a part.

 

I side step the pedals. They arent close enough for me to heel and toe. Any pics of said ugly pedals?

 

i have pics but im too embarrassed to post them......

 

post more pics of Mya then, kthxbi

 

I have no issues in my Max, but in my Saturn I sometimes do hit another pedal just slightly on the outer edge.. Size 11.5 shoe

 

I have an auto, but my wife car is an SE-R Spec-V with 6mt, no problems with either car and a size 12 shoe.

S

 

You guys never asked him just how big his feet are .

 

He needs a driver mod.....The reason they're close is for proper Heel N Toe operation....you just need to practice more Sir or wear cowboy boots!

 

If I wore cowboy boots, I would have kept my F-150

But yeah, after a couple of days driving it I am getting used to keeping my heel more directly in line with the gas pedal, not having it slanted off to the left.

Wife never complains about my big feet, though

I do fine with a size 13 shoe. first day i had that problem, then i was fine after.

 

I wear size 11 extra wides and if I'm not paying attention I do tend to get hung up on the pedals. This only happens with big work boot style shoes though.
