The e-gas pedal with it's Porsche style lower hinge design changes the feel too unlike traditional mechanical gas pedals.

Suggestion
I've seen people stack two aluminum pedals together on top of the brake pedal to raise it for track use, I'm sure you can do the same for the clutch pedal.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

As you may know the pedals on a 996 are not all on the same plane, the brake and clutch are closer to the driver then the gas pedal. And making a heel toe while down shifting and braking at the same time quite hard. So i'm asking the question on here to find out how some of you guys got around this problem.
Did you change the pedal box all together?
Can the gas pedal be adjusted to be on the same level as the clutch, or vise versa?
I would like the clutch pedal to be a bit closer. When my seat and steering wheel are most comfortable the clutch pedal an inch or so too far.
Has anyone made or know of a good fabrication to this purpose?
I understand your situation. I was a little hard for me at first too, but just like every manual car, they're all unique in the design and position of the pedals and it take time to get used to it. The e-gas pedal with it's Porsche style lower hinge design changes the feel too unlike traditional mechanical gas pedals. Upshifting is smooth in my opinion. Most people complain about trying to downshift properly. My best advice is just practice double clutching on down shifts a little more and try to not make it a burden. You think about it enough and it steals your joy. Lot of people purchase after pedals to provide a different feel when shifting, but IMHO, those pedals don't add any added function to the shifting process. Just for looks.

I fabricated this 1.5" extension out of a piece of wood. It cost next to nothing and is easy to do if you have belt sander. At 5'6" with a 29" inseam this makes driving much more comfortable and enjoyable. My only regret is not having done it sooner.
