Hi im new here and interested in buying a TL but i would need to modify it to fit a left foot gas pedal because i had a stroke and my right foot is not strong enough to use... i was wondering if any of you can snap a few pictures of the gas pedal area, and if you all knew if the size is the same between 2004-2006? or if one has a larger leg room area... the left foot gas pedal would have to travel the same as the right foot one and i think the foot rest and brake pedal are slightly in the way... thanks for your help!

 

Stroke at 22?

I had to use my left foot 6-7 months ago after severely straining the tendons in my right foot. Had to do that for 3 weeks. I will be honest, it was a little awkward but definately doable.

 

yea stroke at 21 AND heart transplant! i know its doable but for insurance purpose and safety reasons id rather do it this way... i test drove a 2007 tl it was a lil weird but i was fine after a few seconds...

 

a search on supercomputer race pedals, race pedals, race pedal install should get you various shots of the pedal area.

 

I'm sure it's doable since (and correct me if I'm wrong) you can stick a clutch in any TL (at least the 2gen and 3gen), it's just gonna take a lot of work to do it... If you can pull it off, you're gonna have one hell of a car good luck!

 

how hard would it be to remove the foot rest?

 

Maybe these pics will help ...

I posted these showing the color of the caramel all-season floor mats. You can (barely) see the pedals in one of the pics.

HTH

 

what i need is something similar to this i think the guy whos doing the install said he went to see an 04 at a dealer and said the footrest seemed to be in the way a lil that if i wanted that car he would have to remove part off the brake pedalso it wont touch... makes sense?

 

Hopefully this will help:

 

thats great, now can someone answer how hard it is to remove the footrest... cause i do see what the install guy was talking about... hopefully if he has to cut the brake pedal a lil bit it doesnt look at hacked up

 

Here's an image of the footrest and I believe it's held in by clips. I think you'll to do a little prying to remove it.

 

great is that a picture of the brake pedal without the rubber cover?

 

It's the clutch pedal.
