Liketosmash Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Before I attempt this I thought I would check here. I have noticed that the gas, brake and clutch pedal are awful close to each and pushed too far to the right for my liking. I often find that I can brake and gas at the same time. My thought is to put some heat to the brake pedal and maybe the clutch pedal to bend them to the left a bit more. Just seems that there is a lot of wasted space under the e-brake pedal that could be reclaimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I don't have a comment on altering the pedal arms, but I found it very helpful to discard the brake pedal cover and cut off the right side of the pedal underneath. after that I stopped catching it with my boot.

omega_rugal Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 i thought i was the only one, the clutch is too far to the right that my foot sometime slips to the left, i yes you can easily brake and mash the gas at once... happened to me ina panic stop...

Liketosmash Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks for the replies and the idea from Pete. I'm sure you get used to it over time but that doesn't make it right in my book. Now to find my torch that's the next problem. I guess worse case I have to steal the pedals from my donor XJ when I really mess this up. I just love working under that steering wheel.

Pete M Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 it's not all that hard to pull the wheel off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I had a problem like this before where I would find my foot too close to the gas pedal while holding down the brake pedal. Turns out that my brakes were getting worse which called for the longer travel of the brake pedal. I would check your pads and shoes and see if they need replaced before hacking up stuff you can't get anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liketosmash Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 I just did my front and rear brakes so I don't think that is the problem. I pulled the carpet out of the MJ But left the sound deadening rubber backed foam on the firewall. I then added some rubber rugged ridge tray mats. I think that is part of the problem as the foam + mats push your foot over from the tunnel quite a bit making it a tight fit getting your foot in between the gas and brake pedal. Still though, seems like overall the pedal spacing just could have been better. I'm just enjoying driving the Comanche so much right now though that I am finding it hard to do more work on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
