I was the lucky one who bought the Viper green '76 914. Great car. They put in a new accelerator cable before I got it. The pedal pushes real stiff and jerky not smooth at all. Takes most of the fun out of driving. What would you suggest looking at first?
Thanks, Roger |

Could also be as simple as the pedal. There is a hinge internally on the bottom that does fail.
The pedal cluster is probably the least likely, but could be the issue. Then there is the clutch tube. This is a good project to start. Easy enough to get to the pedal. Hopefully it's simple. Lastly, if there is rust on the two bolts try penetrating oil overnight. -Mark |
