gas pedal feel on autos

[///M42 sport]

I test drove an auto today and its considerably harder to press down on the gas than on the manual. just wondering if this is normal or not?

That was built in to deter people from buying automatics, because the gods of cars told them to do so.

what a coincidence, i had the exact same answer...

so its normal? I kinda didn't want to bring the revs above 3 b/c I was afraid I'd break something.

WD 40 and it will be a bit lighter on the foot and not as stiff.

I cleaned and lubed up my gas pedal assembly and wire linkage and then cleaned up and lubed up the throttle pulleys a bit after i cleaned it a bit of course and now my pedal is lighter a-lot lighter kinda like cloud.
Personally i like tons better then before.

Try it on your car. its all about the use i guess isnt hmm.

anyway this is offtopic

it seems like one time i tried, umm for lack of a better word, "undoing" the spring that closes the throttle butterfly one round. that made a HUGE difference, but then it seems like the throttle wouldn't close as quickly or completely like it should. so, i changed it back. i do believe it is normal for autos. gas pedals to be stiffer. i wonder what the real reason is for that though.

probably becuase it has to pull the trans cable as well...

mine isnt that hard tho... but could probably use a new cable

the kickdown cable is connected to the throtte body also. rmove it, then try the pedal again. :P
