I NEED to Figure a Way to Get More Front Seat Leg Room

[Wattz]

My problem is that if I scoot the seat back to get the leg room, I find myself leaning forward to shift gears. My commute is 1 hour and 15 minutes so leaning the seat back slightly is crucial to keeping my back comfortable.

Either the seat needs to be lower or the shifter needs to be offset.

I'm 6'8" and fit alright. My knees do come pretty close to the dash though.

6'8"?? Wow.

I'm 6'1" and have way more room than I need. My seat is set about 3 clicks from the back (partly because I drive a stick and sitting closer is usually needed to fully engage the clutch comfortably).

Haha, that's why I drive my Tundra more than the Yaris. I have the seat all the way back and reclined with a gangster lean lol. My Yaris is an AT so I don't have to worry about shifting.

...or you should have sprung for the auto.....
I don't deal with that particular problem. BUT, my knees do rub the lower part of the steering wheel getting in or out of the car.
