Default Slippery clutch pedal problem

I will admit that my footwork isn't always as coordinated as it should be - though I've survived just fine until now with working a clutch.

The rounded and slick buttons, no doubt made of neoprene, do wear well, but don't have remotely the adhesion of say a tire tread...or an all rubber, non neoprene clutch pad.

I'm also used to a foot rest located next to the clutch pedal, so it then becomes a matter of lifting the foot and moving it right only a slight amount. I have no problems at all with the brake pedal, since it is next to the accelerator - and doesn't require pushing it all the way to the floor.

Bottom line is I feel it is what you are used to, and a very different 'feel' to the clutch pedal can throw ones timing off.

I suspect I'll be doing some modifying of the pedal and pad/cover.
