Thats all it takes. Lemme know how it goes
this happened to my clutch pedal..it took me like 2 hours to figure out why my car wouldnt start...i looked under the pedals and saw a mechanical switch behind the pedal and realized there was nothing but an empty hole behind it where the stopper used to be..i now have a a VERY small screw sitting in there...works like a charm...was a bitch to get it in though...not alot fo room behind those pedals
