ok, i have the sport pedals from scion installed and i have the scion floor mats. everything was fine, till about a month ago i noticed that i have to really push all the way to the firewall on the clutch for the engine to turn over, otherwise it just won't crank at all.

my legs haven't gotten any shorter, seat is in the same position (actually, i moved it a little closer even), shoes don't change anything for it, the floormat is in the usual correct position. it just seems like i have to push alot more than i used to have to push to get the car started....maybe i can adjust the button sensor somehow....
any thoughts?

Always been to the floor for me. Only thing that made it difficult was the aftermarket universal sport pedals i put on. The screws that came out the back were really long and they were hitting the floor before the pedal was fully depressed. Had to cut them a lot shorter, and now theres no problem.

If you really have a problem, then have the dealer check it out., The pedal or switch might have to be adjusted.

yeah most cars has to floor it, i had a crx, had to be floored, one time it stopped working and i think my brother tightened up the clutch because afterwards it was tight as hell
would tighten that clutch up a bit work for you? dealer would have the answer

just incase someone doesn't know this, you have to push the clutch to the floor (not just to the friction point) because there is a clutch safety switch that won't let the car start unless the clutch is depressed fully. Just a little bit of info...

And if you teach your friends to drive with a clutch safety system like that...they get CONFUSED!!! Although honestly its not that hard of a concept...

Yes, you have to press all the way down on the clutch to get the car to start. Shouldn't you be pressing all the way down on the cluch when shifting anyway, not performance driving?

Not necessarily...

I don't have to hit my clutch at all to start my car

(simple clutch bypass). The switch which tells the BCM that hte clutch is depressed is on the firewall, so you have to push it all the way for all cars.

My remote start has a relay in the bypass so it can be remote started, but when manually starting the car it is still necessary to push in the clutch (wont start otherwise - just like stock)... better safe than sorry

Does your cruise control still work?
