I was driving my dads 5 speed today and the gas pedal fell off and got lodged underneath the pedal!! I drove it home pressing down on the pointed end of the metal shaft. I didnt know which board to post this in...

There seems to be a pin that goes through the plastic pedal/spring and through the metal shaft as well. I tried to reattach it but it fell off again. Is there a clip or something that retains it in place?

 

It's been a long time since I've looked at that piece. Perhaps someone who has more recent exposure could respond.

 

it looks like there is a spring that hooks onto the pedal stem and and against the plastic pedal. a roll pin goes through the holes in the pedal and stem and the coils in the spring. the holes are plastic and they look worn. time for new parts

 

for a quick fix ,take a small bolt and tap ,stick bolt thru first hole,thru metal rod ,thru other hole put tap on ,tighten enuf to hold pedal in position until you can fix it ,worked great for my son.later jimmy
