Accelarator linkage ??

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

So I've been enjoying the last few weeks after getting her off of blocks. Aside from the one idiot that was driving a new 328 who almost rear ended me, then wanted to get mouthy about it its been great till the linkage slipped at the pedal box.

Does anyone have other types of accelarator linkages installed other than the mechanical lever one? I hoping someones got some info on some cable type linkage and that its working great for them.

If you don't drive it hard, give it to someone who will!

Hey Mark,

Many connect a cable linkage to the mechanical linkage, after it get's up along the engine firewall. I haven't seen that many with the cable connected down low.

If your pedal linkage slipped, it's usually readily fixable. The slip is often caused by a loosening of the bolt that tightens the toothed clamp around the pivot shaft. To fix, loosen the bolt, apply some thread sealant, pull up the pedal all the way, if possible to the teeth on the pivot shaft, then retighten the bolt. Make sure the spring doesn't disengage it's sprung rotation around the pivot shaft and the rod attached to the clamp.

HTH,

Tom

Where we goin’? … I’ll drive…

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
