I was using a factory setup and just like Chris metnioned, the car flexed, and it stuck wide open due to a bad motor mount.

I just started stepping (more like kicking.. :shock: ) on the gas pedal a few times and it finally came loose and pulled it over.

You can use a push/pull Morse cable and the toe hook will work.

How long is the SRC pedal? It looks about 18" with about a 30 degree bend 4" up from the pedal. It is hard to tell from a picture. Am I close?
