Pedal sensitivity
Wednesday, April 13, 2005 5:17 PM
Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the brake and/or gas pedal?

It just seems that compared to every other car I drive, I have to push my pedals so much further.

Thanks

For the brake, try to adjust ur rear brake, it will make the pedal stiffer and the hand-brake lever won't need much effort to engage. As for the gas pedal,there are no adjustement on the pedal itself, only on the accelator cable but it is very rare that u have to adjust it.

Hey. How do you adjust the rear brakes? When I pull my ebrake it goes up the whole way and doesn't fully engage. I had it "adjusted" when they inspected my car but how do you do it? I change my own brakes so I must have seen something and not realized it. Now it needs adjusted again. Thanks,

to adjust your shoes you need to turn the start adjuster. it looks like a spur. if you turn it in the direction it clicks it moves the shoes out. to move them in you have to lifter the lever and turn in the other direction. your drums should move and short of catch whne you are turning them if they do this they are adjusted correct.
