Have you ever noticed how uneven your petals are? How much lower the gas petal sits as opposed to the clutch and brake? How much slack there is? It makes you wonder if you are actually at WOT and nearly impossibe to heal/toe for the experienced driver. There is a simple and inexpensive fix.
What you will need:
*2" piece of rubber hose (or nylon)
*2 small hose clamps or 3-4 tyraps
First you are going to want to lift the gas petal. Holding it there, find the throttle cable and pull all the slack out. Measure the length of the cable from the metal stop to the pedal (It will be close to 1"). This is the length to cut the hose. Now, cut the hose to length and slice it lengthwise down the side.
This next step is easier if you unhook the throttle cable from the throttle body. To do this push the throttle body open fully and slide the cable out of its groove.
Now, you can pull all that slack into the car. This will give you an extra 6-8". It is much easier to work with. Slide the hose over the cable and tighten hose clamps (or tyraps). Reconnect the throttle cable to the throttle body and you are done!
It is as easy as that. For just a few dollars, you can raise your accelerator almost level with your other pedals. It makes a world of difference.
