I have a very nice running car now (thank god) finally. i dont want such a heavy pedal, i find i loose speed between shifting. i cant run without a spring going from the throtle armature to the metal torsion bar for the trunk. I have been trying smaller springs and find that the respones is awesome but they wont close the throttle all the way from a a slow down traffic light. i have to punch the pedal one time to close it and idle where i want it.
do you guys just deal with the heavy pedal, or is there a better way to get the really light pedal feel with a good close all the way action. is it just me??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

No reason at all to have a heavy pedal. The only problem with the 1.8 accelerator linkage is the throttle body when it wears. One has to "break loose" the throttle initially and then it is smooth.
Other than that a good condition well lubed accelerator cable and an accelerator pedal that has a good internal hinge and good well lubricated pedal cluster bushings make for a lightly pushing accelerator pedal and smooth action QUOTE(jsayre914 @ May 12 2010, 10:44 AM)  I have a very nice running car now (thank god) finally. i dont want such a heavy pedal, i find i loose speed between shifting. i cant run without a spring going from the throtle armature to the metal torsion bar for the trunk.
