Try removing the plastic gear by grinding off the end of the shaft then clean it with alcohol, drill 4 small holes, 2 on either side of the crack and insert a small piece of stainless steel wire through the holes and twist it tight to hold the crack together. Then cover the entire crack and holes with baking soda then add (liquid not gel) crazy glue on it. Add two or three coats of each on either side of the gear. This should fix the crack. You can buy a push- on cap nut to go back on the end of the shaft to hold the gear assembly in place. Tip: whenever you adjust the brake pedals, keep your foot OFF the pedal so that no pressure will be put on the gear. We can thank the engineers at Ford Motor Co. for trying to save a few cents on each vehicle by using a plastic gear instead of a brass or aluminum one.
Which cable do i disconnect so my adjustable wont work? they move randomly when i recall a memory seating position and its really annoying, i always have them in the furthest back position.
While they are in the position you want, press set then 1 on the memory seat buttons. This will prevent the pedals from moving when your setting is choosen. If you must remove the cable it's connected just above the brake pedal there's a motor off to the side it's fairly hard to miss
@@whitegoodman7465 yes that's correct. Sorry about that. In order to stop both pedals you will need to unplug the motor on the pedals. The motor directly controls one pedal and the cable controls the other. Sorry for any confusion
I'm 6 ft four with long legs, the pedal assembly doesn't go down far enough for me, I end up with sore hips and muscles from braking especially, when I press the switch there is very slight travel up or down, I need them to go down as far as possible to accommodate my legs, just remember one of Fords slogans at one time was, Ford has a better idea, I can tell you that this wasn't one of them, I'm a GM guy but love the panther cars.

@@Andys_Auto yes thats how i set the memory and it still does it, there is a code i scanned regarding it tho.
I would disconnect the cable then for a quick fix
@@Andys_Auto Wouldn't disconnecting that cable still move the gas pedal?
