You say you don't know what they look like, do you know what they are used for?

[QUOTE=Vet Interested;1593951128]What do you use the extra pedal for??[/QUT

Excuse my ignorance. Any automatic transmission I've driven have 2 pedals, 3 if there is no hand pulled parking brake. Want to enlighten me on the extra pedal you referenced?

They make a cover for the dead pedal as well.

Only 2 petals in my car, besides the dead petal.

I still manage to get behind drivers doing 30 in a 40.

But I don't stay there long.

The "petals" will certainly die if you remove them from the flower.

This should NEVER be done . . . unless you're giving them to a female.

You said you did the same thing (referencing the picture with three pedals) to yours and it was an automatic. I said what did you use the extra pedal for if you did purchase three pedals? Sorry if it went over your head. No big thing.

It's the female/flower thing. We are all easily confused by that.

Sorry, I was referencing the thread title, pedal upgrade. Just saying I had done the same upgrade on my automatic, 1 pedal for the accelerator.

I bought some of the old style rubber pedal covers at the auto store, made a thin metal plate to stretch them over, then bolted them on using the existing openings the OE pedals. Works great. Less vibration through the clutch pedal. Much better overall feel .... especially when wearing thin sole shoes.
