Default front seat extension's

I've got a slight problem with my 97 G.T i'm about 6'2 but i had to get me a mustang, if anyone has and (easy) ways on extendeng the front driver seat farther back it would help much. also my clutch seems kind of hard to shift, (more so for my girl thouge, putting it in reverse takes both her hands.) whats the best way for me to fix this proplem? thanks for any help.

Check the tranny fluid...
Try this.. It will give you about 2 more inches of legroom.

For some reason a lot of Mustang owners have trouble with reverse. What I do is Iput it in a forward gear let the clutch out a little and then push the clutch back in. It then goes into reverse just fine. I was told another method is to let the clutch out a little while putting it in reverse. The only time I tried this I ground the gears so I went back to the first method.

yeah as far as revers goes thats what i do, just put it in reverse then let of the clutch a tad bit. i'm a new stickshift/mustang driver, and when i was in the parking lot the first time i (thought) i put it in reverse and i went to give it a bit of gas..... it went nowhere, i almost snapped i thought something was wrong but come to figure out i hadn't put the gear all the way back.

The reverse synchros go out really fast on mustangs. Everyone with a T-45 has reverse troubles lol

I use the Kenny Brown seat rail extenders in mine and got an extra 4" of leg room. Its a similar kit to the link above but better quality brackets.
