If you are not used to it then it can be a little odd for a couple of reasons.

It is hinged at the base when many cars are top hinged and hang down. This changes the way you apply weight to it somewhat as you do have to rotate your ankle more.

The spring on it is quite high which combines with the above to make it feel heavier. I enjoy it as it contributes to the overall feeling of the car.

The 1st gear to 2nd gear pause can make it initially a little freaky. The gear changes after this are easy as it is a smooth box in the S2 onwards, the S1 5 speed was a different box to the later 6 speed boxes.

When I first got mine I was convinced that the clutch was worn and slipping but it has never done this and others from dealerships who service the cars say it is fine. It certainly has no problem breaking tyre traction without any smell of friction material slip.

You do have to be careful not to leave your foot on the clutch as there is no footrest around the pedal.

My wife cannot drive it comfortably as she is short and cannot put the leverage on the pedal.

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
