I'm really looking for suggestions not to be bashed lol.
Looked around this thread, couldn't find the answer to this. How long have you've been driving stick and how much city driving do you do? If your leg is getting sore, that's completely normal until your left foot gets used to it. One thing to note, try to sit as close to the steering wheel as possible; that goal is to not have your left foot fully extended when the clutch is fully depressed. Also, if you're holding in the clutch for a long period of time, just put it in neutral and give your foot a break.

I drive mainly city in the terrible LA traffic and I have yet to complain about driving a stick. Once you get used to it, it should come natural.

Hope that helps. :)

Yes tjasko sir changing my seating position has helped I was sitting too low and far back before I'm also looking into getting a short shifter to hold me over in the mean time the idea being the less travel to change gears the less time I have to spend with my foot on the clutch thanks for your suggestions [emoji16]
