Slippery Pedals
Hi Guys.Anyone else out there find their clutch pedal very slippery? if my shoes are just a little wet its hard to keep my foot from sliding off the pedal..Think I need some after market rough/sticky pedals,the clutch pedal could even use about a 1 inch thick shim behind it,when the seat is adjusted right for the gas and brake pedals the clutch has just abit to much travel downwards..

I hated the slippery clutch pedal. These pedals took care of the problem. I got them in the pyramid grid finish.

I know what you mean, mine is pretty slippery when the bottoms of my shoes are wet. I've already changed out my other pedals though and really hate to have to re-do them all again but guess it might be something I have to think about. Too bad they don't just sell the clutch pedal separately.

so - those who have the CCA pedals, do they stay in place well? - are they less slippery even when wet? - is the spacing between the gas/brake better for heel/toe shifiting? Which finish is best ? Thanks

I also once stepped in some oil one night I didn't see while getting some stuff from an Autozone... It was a real PITA getting enough off my shoe and the peddle just to be able to hold the clutch down.

i bought the grid style when they were first offered as a GP and they are fantastic. slippery when wet pedals has always been a bit of a problem. these pedal "covers" are the solution for sure.

When I had my 6-speed, yes, the clutch pedal would get slick if I had wet shoes on. I just lived though it, but the CCA stuff would help a lot.

Looks like this topic is getting a lot of action these days.
Dale M:
I agree, I don't want to buy all 4 pedals. Looks like there may be a solution. Read Post #36 in the following thread. I have not called to verify, but plan on doing so soon.

I started a thread last week asking if anyone knew of a rubber pad that would fit the C6 clutch. I would imagine there is something that would fit even if it is an import pad. Anyone????

Everytime I wash my car and then drive I have to take my shoes off so they dont slip.
The first summer I had my car I was at a car wash place using the vacuum and it started to pour rain on me, I jumped in the car, which right in front was a big cement wall.............It was in 1st gear when I started her up and before I could get it outa gear my foot slipped of the clutch
I had my foot on the brake luckily so I stopped an inch or two before kissing the wall.....
I need new pedals!

I'm going to order these from CCA when I get the new Z. I'll probably get the black satin peddles though.
