Aluminum Gas Pedal Upgrade
I was looking at the part on Mazdatrix but wondering how difficult is it to install? Not sure if these are just a plug-in electrical switch or more complicated... Anyone have an install guide?

Ah, sorry, thought the MT might be diff from the AT... just wanted to make sure... wonder if Mazdatrix ships the parts with instructions? I want to replace the whole set down there, lol. Dead pedal, brake pedal pad, and gas
Thanks.
Thanks.

the oem mazda ones come with full instructions, I swapped gas/brake on mine, the brake pedal was a pad that replaces the rubber pad on the factory pedal, clutch is probably done the same way on the Mt's. My dead pedal got replaced with a speaker pod, it was pretty easy to take out so my guess is the factory piece probably just replaces that as well.

Ah, bought them already. Arrived yesterday, all three pedals came with OEM instructions, sweet. Got clear corners too, no instructions but those are easy to do.
I'll try to do a DIY guide while I do it this weekend, weather permitting

OK, so all three pedals came with "technical" Mazda install instructions. Great, if you have little magical gnomes that can fit in there and turn the little nuts.
I got the dead pedal on, easy. Gave up on the brake pedal pad. Gonna try the soap, thanks. The accel. pedal, omg, how do you get that top nut off? I got the socket wrench on there, but goddamn it's hard to torque and see what you're doing.
The mazda dead and accel. pedals are basically the stock stuff with an aluminum plate/sheet attached to the top. Couldn't they just sell that alum. piece? lol... wish I had looked for better photos of the parts before I bought them. Tempted to just remove the alum. part of the accel. pedal and glue it onto the stock pedal!

U-joint & extension worked for me.
Not a good idea! If you can't get the accelerator assembly installed, take it to a shop, shouldn't cost more than .5 hours labor charge.
