Pedal height adjustment?

Can the height of the brake and clutch pedal be adjusted at all? on my 95 F150 the clutch and brake pedal are HIGH, high enough that i cant just slip my foot from the gas to the break, I have to lift my entire leg to reach the brake, heel/toe driving is deffinetly not possible. Same with the clutch, requires full leg movement and not just depressing it with my foot.

Pedal height adjustment?

DrkPhanstm, I'm willing to bet that part of your problem is that the throttle cable stretched and the gas pedal is a lot lower than it used to be when new. Get under there and look at the pedal - now pull the gas pedal up as if all the slack were taken out of the cable... bet it would be a lot easier to drive if that's how the gas pedal really sat, huh? (it would probably require you to move your seat back a notch, and make it more even with the other two pedals).

well, it was just a thought.

Gamma: Killer suggestion! I'll have to check it out.... that would also explain why my throttle throw is so short!

Well, I dont think its that my throttle cable is stretched, my gas pedal doesnt lift more than 1/2 from where it sits.

So is there any way to lower the clutch and brake? They seriously sit almost 4in above the gas pedal
