The brake pedal to throttle pedal relation has been bothering me since I installed the manual trans. The distance between the two made it near impossible to heel & toe (with actual heel & toe) it required unnatural contortions and my knee would contact the shifter. I prefer heal & toeing with the left and right sides of the ball of my foot and the was impossible with the stock configuration and negotiating stops in traffic on an uphill were too exciting.

Yesterday I decided to figure out a resolution and completed it today. The test drive passed with flying colors.













The pedal is .75" closer to the drive than stock, the extension tab is 1" wide. The 3M self-adhesive non-slip surface on the pedal face is rubberize (not mineral coated) and gives just enough grip to keep the right side of my foot properly positioned on the pedal.
