It is what you need, to drive .....

Clutch pedals though are few and far between these days unfortunately. I have driven three pedal cars before with the foot switch but don’t clearly recall if there was any problem.
I did. It was a problem. There are times you need to do both. It's much easier with a hand as your fingers can work both the paddles and the stalk.
 
My truck is a manual and have the foot switch and it's no problem AT ALL. You don't use it in trafic but mainly on hyway in the top gear.
Your truck is likely not a daily driver. I found it awkward at times. You didn't, then good for you.

There is NO MORE manual cars anyway ! And our daily drivers had that foot switch back then when times were much simpler. I don't think evolution is always for the better.
 
I didn't say there was. I said it was awkward with a clutch pedal. I never said it couldn't be used with modern autos.
However, I still prefer it on the stalk. It's much easier since your hands are on the steering wheel anyway. It's a simple push with your knuckles to turn it off.

If you live in Quebec, did you not get that knob on the floor, frozen hard because of snow deposit, that had melted and covered it with ice!?
Or you had a garage?
 
They're usually high enough to stay clean. And I also don't let a lot of snow in my vehicles.
They were (are) old tech and jammed often. I don't know how old you are, but the 60's cars had all kinds of issues with those switches. I drove dozens of 60's and 70's cars. High current ran through the relays and as such were prone to arcing and sticking as a result.

I am talking years ago when those switches were on the floor. I know I had to kick a few hard!;):p:D
 
I drove and owned A LOT of 60's and 70's cars, I also repaired them. Most had no relays on this circuit. My actual truck is a 1989 and the switch is still smooth as butter. Yes some got very rusty and hard to operate but it was mainly due to improper maintenance. Replacing them was SO EASY, 2 or 3 screws and a 3 prungs connector. Personnaly I prefer that foot switch but everybody has their own preference.
What I don't like about the stalk type is that I have to move my hand to it and they operate differently from a car to another.
In my truck my foot stay there all the time on hyway and just clic on it. Simple and easy.

What applies to a relay applies to a switch. Maintenance! LOL! You don't maintain a switch on the floor until it no longer works!
You like them, I didn't.
I've never had to remove my hand from the steering wheel on any car I've owned. I extend my fingers or now push the stock with the fingers.
So let's just leave it there. You want it back on the floor and I don't.

There is always that unexpected itch you just can’t ignore….. ;)
