I know that these clutches can be adjusted, and I've been reading up on past threads on this topic.

I was wondering if anyone had knee pain from the clutch, and had their pain go away after adjusting (lowering) the clutch pedal?

no wonder y you have clucth pain...y the heck would u ever use the ball of ur foot on the clutch u should use th area below your toes and the top of ur foot...keep doin it your way and u wont have a foot wtch drifting vids racing vids thats how thwy all do it...

I don't have any pain going up or down stairs.

This pain is not a sharp pain at all. It's a dull, nagging pain that is similar to a repetitive motion-type injury (which I have in my right hand).

The area below your toes IS the ball of your foot.

I don't see how you can (or would) use the top of your foot on the clutch pedal. It doesn't make any sense.

Do what I did, get Infiniti to put the 05 tranny in your car. That's what I did, and my clutch is a lot easier to use.
