I have a 29 tudor with the special seat brackets that push the seat way back. But at 6' 1" I STILL had a problem! My knee was still trapped under the steering wheel when going from the brake to gas while in first gear. The problem was that in first gear the shift lever (which was leaning a little toward the driver's side) was so close to the steering wheel that my knee had no place to go and was trapped. Moving the seat back did not solve this. A little manual persuasion easily bent the shift lever so it now leans slightly toward the passenger side. Problem solved!
