Accelerator Pedal keeps falling off.
Just wondering if anyone has ever replaced the factory accelerator pedal on a full sized car with something else?
The two small studs that come out of the floor are rusted pretty good so they may now be a bit to small. The part on the pedal assembly that they pop into is also cracked.
So now unless I am extremely carful while driving my accelerator pedal falls off and I am left with pushing on the actual linkage with my foot. It is becoming very tiresome.

I doubt the ball studs have eroded away that much. It's more likely the crack in the pedal. Same thing happened to me on my 66 Cutlass. I purchased a pedal and two studs from The Parts Place. I didn't even use the studs as they were fine and the pedal looks and works great. I'm not sure how a Cutlass pedal and a 98 compare but it's worth taking a look.

Craig, the Cutlass pedal is about 2/3 the size of a full size pedal. Someone else had this problem and I was going to try and dig out some pedals I've pulled over the years that I though were still good. If I find more than one you can have the second best as the other member asked first. John

So John were you able to find any?

Hi Craig,
I still have a nice one you can have if you're still in need. The holes that fit over the floor mounting studs are 100% perfect and the face of the pedal is almost in "as new" condition.

I hear that... it's tough accelerating smoothly without the pedal. Last time I knocked mine off I was on a steep hill in SF, in stop and go traffic... not fun! I recently picked up a used pedal from a member here. It's nice not to have to deal with that anymore. Good luck, hope you find one, too.
