Throttle Pedal Bracket bent !!, stuck pedal, no rev limiter.. Options

[9144me]

The title basically says it all.

I picked up my car yesterday and trailered it home. When I first played with the car i pulled on the pedal because I thought it didn't return fully. Anyhow the linkage popped off because it doesn't allowmovement in the reverse direction unlike most cars. So I popped it back on and all seemed ok, even though I didn't start the car.

When I brought the car home i noticed the bracket is bent to the right and the ball joints don't line up. So I bent it back to the left and hooked the two linkages (one for the pedal and one going through the tunnel).

Took the car for a noisy drive around the neighborhood and floored it. The bracket bent to the right again and got stuck under a piece of sheet metal or something. No rev limiter so i cut the engine as soon as possible. The engine is ok, drove ok afterwards.

Any someone post pictures of how this is supposed to be aligned? Do I have to replace the pedal cluster?

PLEASE HELP! Thanks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

No, NO, No, here is what happening.

The gas pedal has the rod behind it and the other end of the rod connects to a bracket. The bracket has a shaft that it pivots on and this shaft is pressed into the bracket. The shaft has come loose from the bracket. Happened on mine. I welded the shaft to the bracket.

I have pics at home that I'll post tonight.
