yah, i too keep my wallet in my front pocket while driving. that and wearing looser pants.

also even one click tilt on the seat back angle can change things.

Make sure you are not at full extension with your leg when clutch is depressed. Your leg should be slightly bent, not stretching to get it(the clutch) pushed in.
As for wallet one should never carry a wallet in your back pocket. Over time your hips will become crooked and it can create spine problems later.
Make sure your driving comfortabley, not trying to look cool. The car takes care of any dork like appearances you may have.

This is wonderful advice if this is your first manual car. If your short like me I will find that is u have a sport model with no power seats one click up is too close and one click back your stretching out. Play around with the seat closer and as other mentioned no crap in your back pockets and adjusting the lumbar. With all of these things I have no doubt u will find a comfortable seat position. Oh and if no one mentioned it u may need a good chiropractic adjustment to get ya straightened back out. Good luck bro

My biggest grip about the car. I've managed to find my best position, but I had the one click too close, one click too far. I was in between the two positions. Had to choose one and play with the seat angle to get comfortable!

Try one click close then tilt back one click
