I had a stiffy once.

Seriously though, my mate had a stiff pedal in his SXi, was really crap.

Replace the cable, fairly easy to do.

It will be the cable inside the plastic, same as the clutch cable.

You will have to replace it. Bring it down Stephanie and we can do it together.

My cable had a wee "kink" in it, but once i move clip over (on strut brace) and re attached it felt like it was brand new.
