I added a clutch pedal extender to my '18 TSi. Let me preface this by saying that I'm 60 years old, physically fit, but now get annoyed by being jammed up against the dash and center console so I can sit close enough to fully or almost fully engage the clutch pedal. I also don't like the uncomfortable angle you need to have your gas pedal foot at -- more specifically my ankle -- with the stock set up. I love a manual transmission, but after having a DSG Alltrack for a few years I realized I liked having the seat slid back farther. So, this mod basically will allow me to keep driving manuals now that the comfort is on par with an autobox equipped car.
This pedal extender was obtained from ebay, and is actually custom made for manual transmission late model Camaros (lol). I eyeballed it and thought for 40 bucks I'll take a chance and see if I can get it to fit. It turned out it was too large by about 1mm in every dimension. But too small would have had no chance of working so I was relieved it was a little too big.
I then figured if I could line the part that goes around the pedal with some vacuum hose I might be able to get it to work.
The hose turned out to be too thick, so ended up cutting it in half lengthwise so that I ended up with two 'c' shaped remnants the same length as before (sorry no photos after I cut it, but I think you get the picture). This also in effect gave the pedal a channel to slot into. Worked perfectly, the pedal extender is super solid now.
I had previously installed this custom pedal extender in my 380 S and it makes that car much more liveable for me, but it was $250, so I thought I'd give the Camaro one a shot. At 1/5th the cost I'm a very happy camper.
Anyways, I'm 5'10", but these would have even more benefit for particularly short or petite drivers. The extenders would probably be a bit of a hindrance for any kind of competitive driving, but I was just after making the cars more liveable on a day-to-day basis and the extenders have definitely done that.
