well i have more learning and exploring to do i guess.

i have no pedal slop. pedals feel fine. the only thing I noticed at all concerning was the throttle parts, shown in the photo above- had a side to side movement where they attached to the floor mount - but very little. not enough that it made me worry when i discovered it

it didnt seem like any bushings were missing in the actual pedal cluster. perhaps im not seeing something. i have not looked in the tunnel. not sure how im gonna do that.

i dont know what to do here. seems that my throttle sticking probelm came from a broken cruise control cable in the engine compartment - BUT - i did seem to sense that the gas pedal went in as the clutch pedal was depressed which would indicate the two cables getting mixed...however, i am not 100% if that is what happened

whats throwing me is, this bushing - if thats what it is, is pretty thick. its overall circumference is pretty small, but its fairly wide. seems to me that if it were missing from my system somewhere that i would notice alot of loosenes or slop in either the clutch or throttle...but perhaps im lacking in the basics of understanding how these parts work

-- and regarding the various areas in the tunnel --- well doesnt the fact that i found this piece under the gas pedal indicate that is must have come from either the pedal cluster parts or else not very far into the tunnel. i cant imagine how if it were in the middle or back part of the car that it would make its way all the way up to the front
