I tend to rest my foot on my clutch ever so slightly does that affect the car at all? I didnt think it did till i had it on cruise and the tiniest tap on the clutch turned off cruise. Thanks for any advice

I would't worry about it...just pay attention to your rpm's if u wanna know.

it will cause premature clutch wear if you continue to do it

Especially if you are putting on enough pressure to kick off the cruise control. Dead pedal FTW.

you'll cause alot of wear on that clutch pretty quick, use the foot rest to the left of your clutch.

My foot only touches the clutch when i'm going to be gearing up/down. even at lights i dont hold the clutch and keep it in gear until i know mine's turning green, then i clutch + shift and launch.

i figured its cuz i'm lazy and dont want to use the energy to hold in the clutch while waiting for a light. --- if i'm racing then its a different story
