I have a hard time heal toeing because my accelerator pedal is down so low. Does anyone know how to adjust that higher?

Thanks,
Dan

please, you're killing me!

"heel", not "heal"

and for the others, its "brakes', not "breaks"

Actually hurts my brain.

Find a small stiff tube (outside diameter of a straw, inside diameter to allow the cable to pass through.) Slice it so you can slide it over the cable. Place it on the cable behind the pedal; between the ball end and the arm that pulls on the cable. Put a tie wrap around it so it can't come off. A quarter inch tube will raise the pedal about 3/4" I think. It may sound hokey, but it's easy, you can make it exactly the height you want, it's cheap, and on mine, it's lasted 50K+ miles.

There is an easier way. By adjusting the cable that comes from the accel. pedal to the adjuster assm. independantly of the brake and clutch cable you can move the pedal in relation to the brake. I haven't done this myself, but there was a post on this very subject awhile back. Probably pretty obvious once the knee bolster is off and you're looking at the adjuster.

Wait! Just noticed yours is a GenI, never mind.

Sorry for the grainy pictures. This makes sense once you see the assembly under the dash.
