CAn you adjust the gas pedal?

03_StangGuy · September 3rd, 2007, 10:42 PM

I bought my GT about 2 months and never liked how far back the gas pedal was. Today while vacuuming i notice the gas pedal has inch or two of play, it can be pulled toward the driver seat but the throttle cable looses all tension. Can this be adjusted or can the cable be tightened?

I figure such, so hows it done?

HMUSN · September 3rd, 2007, 10:48 PM

install some washers underneath the bolts for the throttle bracket.

03_StangGuy · September 3rd, 2007, 10:50 PM

theres no built in adjustment because theres at least and inch of play and I wanna use an inch worth of washers. I was thinkin bout installin a new end on the cable?

HMUSN · September 3rd, 2007, 10:51 PM

you could shorten the cable as well.

03_StangGuy · September 3rd, 2007, 10:57 PM

thats wut i was thinkin, just wanted to make sure there wasnt some way to adjust it first. Is there a reason the cable is so loose? the car only has 27k on it?

HMUSN · September 3rd, 2007, 10:58 PM

it's normal.

i guess some people don't like instant throttle response.

03_StangGuy · September 3rd, 2007, 11:02 PM

throttle response isnt affect cuz the pedal rest wit the cable tight. I dont like it cuz its a bitch to heel-toe
