Default My knee hits the turn signal lever

Okay no matter what position I put my seat too I cannot help but knock the turn signal level w/ my knee, especially when I am pushing the clutch in and out while driving. I'm not even that tall (5'8") and I have this problem. The ONLY way I can avoid this is by jacking the steering wheel all the way up, or pushing the seat all the way back, doing which prevents me from having a comfortable reach w/ the pedal. Anyone else have this problem?

No worries guys I'm going in for special surgery next week to extend my lower legs and get those nifty new arm extendors. It will cost me a fortune in medical expenses, but hey, at least I will be able to drive my Mustang comfortably!

I don't have any problems and my knee isn't even close to the turn signal, and I'm a little taller at 5'9".

Maybe you shouldn't be wearing those high heels....

im 5'11" and sometimes i have that problem...but i like to sit really close to the steering wheel, makes me feel more in control. Also i like having my leg still bent quite a bit when i put the clutch in so yea, usually my leg hits when i am turning left and the signal is on.
