When the pin and bushings wear, the pedal wobbles side to side, the roller sticks or squeaks, and the throttle can feel jerky or fail to return smoothly. A sticking throttle is unsafe, and a sloppy pedal makes smooth driving hard. This inexpensive kit restores a smooth, positive pedal without replacing the whole assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the floor mat to get at the pedal hinge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote how the old spring and roller sit before taking them apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the hinge bracket and remove rust so the new pin turns freely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrease the pivot and roller lightly and check the pedal returns fully on its own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck throttle cable adjustment for full throttle and a clean idle return.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore You Order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quickest check is the year on your title and the pedal itself. Early Beetles and Ghias up to 1967 use a flat pedal that hinges at the floor with a small roller at the top that pushes the throttle rod. From the 1968 model year VW changed the pedal design, and those cars need the later repair kit. If your car has been converted to a later pedal cluster, or if the pedal has been swapped for an aftermarket roller pedal, compare your parts before you order. When in doubt, send us a photo of your pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my 1965 Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, EMPI lists 1958–1967 Beetles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my 1971 Super Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Later cars use a different pedal and repair kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as OE 113 798 073?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
