cringing accelerator pedal!!!!!

**Posted:** Wed Jan 04, 2006 6:48 pm

Wen moving off in first gear i get this really nasty cringing noise coming from the accelerator pedal.

Mehanic has checked drive shaft and everyfink and every thing seems fine.

Ive applied WD40 to the pedal and is still makes that type of noise like its or sumthing.

Any ideas what this could b cause its dead annoying???

Thats probably what it is as this went on my old Toyota Corolla.
Same symtoms, shouldnt be an expensive fix, cant really remember what the mechanic did to sort mine out, well I guess he must've replaced the spring. :bounce:

I wouldn't be too sure...

Your mechanic went and checked the driveshaft :scratch:

Im sure if it was the spring, it would've been a bit obvious...

Why is it only in first gear :cyclopsani:
