Toyota MR2 Interior Pedals and Pads
Improve driving control of your Toyota MR2 with replacement pedals and pads. Each product is engineered for superior traction and easy operation, so you can speed up and slow down with confidence. Choose from a variety of designs and sizes for all three generations of the MR2 sports car.
What is typically included in a pedal set?Pedals for the Toyota MR2 often come in sets of three; this ensures that each unit works together and fits into the floor space of your car. Sets may vary, but most include a basic, stripped-down pedal assembly. Most sets do not come with pedal covers or pads.
- Clutch: This pedal engages and disengages the clutch, which in turn transfers or cuts off power from the engine to the wheels of your Toyota.
- Brake: The brake pedal activates the brakes of your car, which slows down the wheels.
- Accelerator: This pedal opens up the throttle valve, which lets more air into the engine and helps increase speed as you drive.
A pedal pad covers the pedal frame in your Toyota, creating a larger surface area for your foot. It is usually made of rubber and often features a textured surface that increases traction and prevents your foot from slipping in wet or icy weather. You might choose to replace the pedal pad if its tread is worn out or if you want to create a new look for the interior of your car.
How do you install new pedal pads on an MR2?Pedal pads are easy to replace on most Toyota MR2 models. Installation requires no special tools; simply turn off the car and engage the parking brake so the vehicle can’t move. Then, pry off the original pad with your fingers. If they are old or stuck in place, you can slip a screwdriver under the edge of the pad for extra leverage. Snap the new pads on for a quick replacement.
What is a dead pedal?A dead pedal is a fixed footrest that sits next to the pedals on your Toyota MR2. This pedal does not operate any of the systems on your car; instead, it provides a raised place for your foot to sit when it’s not pushing other pedals. If your MR2 has a manual transmission, the dead pedal is a great option because it keeps your foot on the same level as the clutch. When you shift gears, this enables an easier transition that’s gentle on your Toyota engine.
How do you choose the correct pedals and pads?Since many pedals and pads for the MR2 are designed for specific models, years, and transmission styles, it’s important to select a compatible product. Follow these steps to narrow the choices and find a great fit for your Toyota car.
