Rich,
I jacked the car up and got under.
A friend pushed the pedal down and I could see everything moving fine.
Problem is, when you pull the pedal back (closer to driver) to "tighten" it,
you
DO NOT see the shaft turn inside the clamp as I assume you would if it
needed to be tightened.
Suggestions?
Ron
