I have a delivery date (mid-June) for a '01 SLK320 6-speed. I'm 5 feet 5 inches tall and was worry about my driving position (too close to the steering wheel). The MB dealers around me have not receive any 6-speeds yet, so I haven't been able to try one for fit. I was wondering what kind of problems to look out for if I remove the arm attached to the clutch pedal and lengthen (by welding) it by one to two inches to move the pedal closer to me?
