Good morning, happy Friday.
I would like to drive the red "turbo" car to see the Orange County mafia at Crystal Cove tomorrow but my gas pedal keeps popping off. More specifically, it's the cup on the accelerator rod that attaches to the ball in the linkage on the floor that keeps popping off. I am not seeing any means of adjusting that fit so it doesn't pop off, but I'm still a newbie here and was hoping that you guys would be able to offer ideas and things to check. I may have a spare rod that I can try, but any ideas on how to resolve this and or common issues? This is a 911 diagram, but it is a very similar set up. It's number six that keeps popping off |

Hi Bruce. How hard to pull the pedal cluster? Skip, If you want to get a rebuilt set from me we can probably get Oscar to lend the use of his garage and swap it out. I like to undo the clutch cable and accelerator cables at he the back of the car. Requires removing the steering rack pan. master cylinder bolts, wires to the brake light switch. Then I shove a chisel under the set to lift it above the studs. Pull, twist and get the set out to where you can unhook the clutch and accelerator cables. Bruce |

Bruce Hi Bruce-that would be great but let me see if I have that time to put aside ( Busy kids soccer weekend). I also want to make sure that I'm not distracting from the main reason everyone's there. But if it lines up and we can still get the primary work done that would be fantastic. EDIT - I am a moron. I can't drive the car, so I'd have to have it towed there, which is cost prohibitive. |
