Ya know your the first person who has the same problem with the clutch and brake as I did when I went to test drive the car. I'm about 6' tall and I feel like the clutch pedal was I guess too high or too long? I had problems test driving the car and I had driven manual cars since 16 and I'm 24 lol. When I was test driving every time I change gears the shifter felt strong but not heavy like the other said like a sports car compared to the my Civic Si, the SI shifter was much more flexible.

Anyways every time I change gears the car would jump because the clutch was so high. Someone here I think told me that it can be fixed after I purchase it, the dealer can lower it and shorten it for me because of that jump, sometimes it would push my foot out and my shoe would rub against the break. I test drove a 09 Silver Touring with Sport honestly, I didn't even know if syncro rev was on XD. I love it in Silver, looks great in person.

I also drove a 7at Red base and it didn't feel any different from my Si, except there's a huge surge of power when you actually step on it, faster accel and more torque. After all I am currently driving a torque less wonder honda XD. So since this had happened to someone else, can any one confirm that the clutch pedal could be fixed? because the only reason I liked the AT more was only because the car doesn't Jump like the manual. Anyone have that problem with their clutch?
