I'll definitely make note of your tips. Anything to make things go smoothly. Thanks!

You are pretty much exactly my size. I've done four RJM clutch pedal installs now. Let me tell you the newest version is so much easier to install and adjust than the old one. You shouldn't have any troubles if you're at all mechanically inclined, but it's not exactly a fun install.

The best tip I have is to set up something next to the driver side that is just about door sill height (I use an old wooden file cabinet turned on its side - it is pretty sturdy). Add blankets and pillows to provide cushioning for you and to protect the car's paint. This will make it much more tolerable working on your back down in the footwell. If you start to feel cramped or are just uncomfortable, spend your time down there in short 5-10 min sessions. I found that the better the cushioning, the easier it is to spend longer periods down there.
