Overthinking : )
I just got around to get out in the garage and I have that same “clicking”. Probably just some slack contact noise. I never paid any attention or heard this this before, but seems like it’s expectable even in ordinary engine linkages. My pedal has about 1/4” of free play before I hear that “clicking”. I’ll lube as required - part of routine maintenance. I have over 200,000 miles and consider the noise normal and since it functions as intended not worth any obvious adjustment unless I would find exactly where it’s making contact. Could be a bushing along the way is just a tad concentric |
My first thought the rod was making contact where it enters the engine, hitting the tin….

Probably due to the fact I fixed a noisy fuel pump and replaced seals, weatherstrip, soundmats etc... I finally can hear what I wasn't paying attention to before...:) good to know |
ok, i think I found the culprit of the play, very subtle!
with the help of a friend, I was able to determine I have no play between the pedal and the rod in the engine... the problem is at the ball socket level, if you see the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ipFBSKgv2E and slow down frame by frame, you can see there is 1mm play, which becomes exponentially bigger at foot level so I guess that I should try (not sure if it's difficult or not) to maybe clean, remove the socket, and tighten a tad the socket on the rod .. maybe buy a new ball socket? I also wonder if the problem is actually the reverse lever where the gap (marked in red) is (maybe due to corrosion?) and if it's easy to replace it ("easy" like I have to remove the heat blower etc to have enough space) https://i.imgur.com/q6Srzj5.png |
