Default MY08 what a pain

Ive started to get a sharp pain in the ball of my left foot and I reckon its from pressing the clutch down in my MY08 WRX

I need to do something or I might have to seel it and get something with a lighter clutch or a car with DSG levers .

Does anyone know if you can alter the clutch pedal so its lighter or are there any DSG kits like on EVO

Change your footwear first, a stiffer sole may spread the load, or as the man said some gentle exercise to tone up....

I had an Imp with a clutch pedal so stiff I could barely hold it in long enough to swap cogs !

LOL

P.S. I had an 08 STI push me off the A64 on the way back from York yesterday, he kept up quite well....

Its probably not caused by the clutch, its stiffer than my old MY05 one but it is certainly exacerbating the problem will probably have to go to docs to have foot checked its not pleasant and the thought of having to give the car up isn't pleasant either so I hope I can get my foot sorted.

Maybe its gout! Try cutting down on the fine wines, brandy, venison, stilton, pork pies and paté for a few days and see if that helps.
