Fun with the pedal cluster

[Snitzler]

I decided to remove the floorboard and clean up behind there. Cleaned and lubricated everything that I could and decided to remove that throttle sector. Required a bunch of maneuvering and found this. Ordered brass bushings from our host, if you are going in there get the bushings first!

Same issue with mine (post here but mine actually stuck at 80+mph. Glad you caught yours before driving too much. Interestingly, for my 87 they were out of brass bushings but regardless, something to replace. Would replace all of them if you have the cluster out.

Cluster stays in, it is actually looking pretty good.

If you are going in there, get all of the parts, so you don’t have to order twice, reuse old worn out chit, or have to run to the hardware or flaps.

Get all of the springs, a new stop light switch, rubber bumpers, pedal pads, nuts, washers, cotter pins, clevis, locking tab for clutch attachment, maybe a small tube of the “right” lube, and a few thing I have probably forgotten, (those are the hard ones :-)

Next, if they were really cool they could review the zillion posts on this common project and summarize the procedure WITH the hot tips, like using washers stuck between the coils off the clutch spring.
