coley40 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 hi, only just run in the car and starting to have some fun ! noticed when i use full throttle the top tenth of travel on the accelerator pedal becomes stiff / sticking as if something is hindering the travel before it finally reaches? full throttle. has anybody else noticed this, wondering if its normal or whether i need to take it to the dealers to check out? cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpkayeuk Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yes, I think they are using the same accelerator pedal as for the auto box. It feels like an automatic's kickdown button. But actually, full throttle is the bit before that final press anyway, so you can ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coley40 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 thanks for the response , so does your pedal feel stiff / resistant on the last part of the travel ? like its pressing a button ? cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Same as above. I think they must use the same pedal in the 6MT and 7AT and such it has the kick down button in the 6MT even though it doesnt kick down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Same on mine - but I agree, a bit disconcerting when you first 'find' it on a manual. Had it checked at the service and it is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 + another here, I like to think of it as "warp" drive Must be my imagination but I thought it gave a bit more on the final "push" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coley40 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 its been posted on another site that the click action at the end of the accelerator actually cancels the speed limiter when set. seems to have a function then if true, not tried it yet. I will have a look in the manual when I get chance to see if anything is mentioned about this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpkayeuk Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think you might be right there actually... I had the limiter on the other day playing about with it and I remember it cancelling. I reckon it's because I pressed the kick down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
