This gets very tiring on my foot, especially in traffic. One problem I've noticed, if going over bumps and the up and down movement of the MH cause my foot to actuate the pedal as the MH is moving up and down causing me having to release the pedal to stop the porpoising from getting out of hand.
I haven't seen a way to adjust the pedal. But even if I could the leverag is still needing to be applied to the top of the pedal. Is there anyone with this problem, any suggestions besides clown shoes?

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where trucks and tools were designed for people my size. (I am average height for a woman.)

No rocker switch, and I said no clown shoes :B
This takes my heel off the floor causing the surging problem.
Thanks for the replies.
My point exactly. Driving boots are the answer. Ever wondered why pro drivers mostly wear boots. that's why. Nothing to do with clown shoes.

Not extremely short and seat is up pretty far. I'll see about getting closer. But I think my problem is to get the best leverage I need to move my foot up higher on the pedal. This takes my heel off the floor causing the surging problem. It's fine on the freeway ( with cruise). Just the city driving were cruise isn't used is the problem.
Thanks for the replies.

I started wearing boots, or shoes with heels. After that, my heels would rest on the floor, and the pedal would no longer bounce. I did however lock the rocking chair seat when I went thru the gears. The clutch tried to push me back thru the sleeper, Just unlocked it when I hit 13.

Scoot the seat up or put a pillow behind you. A bigger foot wouldn't help still same angle and distance. You have to get closer to the pedal or the pedal has to come closer to you.
I can't believe I responded to this. I must be really bored. Time to head North.

Cruise control.
That would be my guess
Or he could lay a 1x or 2x slab of lumber under the pedal..Carpet cover optional. Use Velcro hooks on bottom to "hook" it to existing carpet.

If the toes and the ball of your foot are the "pressure point" rather than your entire foot on the pedal, it would be my humble opinion that you are not close enough.
Move the seat forward until you entire foot is flat on the pedal.
This is why most women pull their driver seat more forward than men - because our feet are smaller and we need to be closer to the pedal in order to have full foot contact and better control.
