Default Cluth Pedal Pad

Has any ever seen a clutch pedal pad for the S2000? I have seen one for other models, but none appear to fit the S2000.

I need to find a way to add about 1.5" on top of the pedal; but using a wood block with a rubber shim doesn't look like an easy install.

I'm assuming you've already moved the seat forward and angled the seatback upright?
I would be leery of attaching anything to the clutch pedal for safety reasons. Another trick you might try is place a thin pillow behind her after you adjust the seat and see if this helps.

Scoot the seat up unless she is literally under 5 feet tall she should be able to reach it with a proper driving position

I rarely find it necessary to push the clutch all the way in. Maybe try adjusting the pedal so that the engagement point is higher up.

You can adjust the clutch switch to allow the pedal to come higher up, then raise the clutch engagement point to match it by lengthening the pushrod to the master cylinder. I did this years ago in an effort to resolve my 2nd gear grinding issues. It took about 30 minutes, which may or may not be easier than replacing your girlfriend.

lol she's not that short
Mina's 4'10" and she can drive her S just fine. Although she does have the softer clutch of the AP2.
