ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for adjusting the fore and aft positions of motor vehicle pedal assemblies is provided. The assembly includes a pair of parallel, threaded shafts, each of which is connected to a gear assembly for simultaneous rotation. A cross rod is threadably mounted to each shaft and one or more pedal assemblies are pivotably mounted to the cross rod. The pedal assemblies and cross rod move in a direction which is parallel to the threaded shafts upon rotation of these shafts. A pulley assembly is also threadably mounted to one of the shafts and moves in the same directions as the cross rods during shaft rotation. The pulley cable is connected at one end to an accelerator pedal assembly and at the opposite end to the vehicle throttle. An elongate housing is connected to the booster input for the vehicle braking system while a threaded rod extending therefrom is connected to a brake pedal assembly. The housing is rotated in unison with the threaded shafts, thereby causing the threaded rod to move in the same direction as the brake pedal assembly.
