Dodge Viper pedal height and position adjustment (Free modification)

Today, I have a few quick instructions that cost $free.99, but increases the driving enjoyment of your Gen 2 Dodge Viper tremendously.

Of course, Rev.Zero or its employees or owners are not responsible for any damage you may cause performing this modification, it is for off road use only, only intended to be performed by a qualified professional, etc...

As you know, the pedals on the 96-02 Viper are adjustable with the little wheel/knob underneath the dashboard, behind the steering wheel.

However, in my opinion:

• The height of the clutch pedal is too high, and the clutch pedal throw/travel is ridiculously long.
• The brake is too low relative to the clutch pedal.
• The gas pedal is too low relative to the brake!
• The gas pedal could be closer to the brake, for better heel-toe rev matching.

Luckily, all of this can be solved with basic hand tools and some of your time. And here is how:

1. Remove the plastic panel underneath your steering column. To do this, you must remove the knob (it just presses on its shaft), fuse box cover, and a few screws.

3. Once you have the adjuster out, you can see that there are 3 cables fitted into the main black plastic body. These are each retained with a pair of clips.

• If you carefully remove the clips (don't break or lose them!), you can pull the cables out from the adjuster body, and rotate them to adjust the height of each pedal individually. 
• Adjust each pedal to your liking, and re-insert the cables and re-install their retaining clips.
• Now, you can still spin the adjuster knob, and it'll move all the pedals forwards and backwards together as a unit, but with your new and improved pedal positions relative to each other remaining the same!

4. Reinstall everything you removed (Yep, I'm hitting you with the classic "installation is reverse of removal.")

5. Make sure your throttle cable has the right amount of slack at the engine where it connects to the throttle bodies. It shouldn't need adjustment, but check it just in case. Adjustment of this is outlined in the factory service manual but of course, you can contact us if you have questions.

6. Bonus step: The gas pedal has ~3/4" of adjustability side to side. There are two 1mm hex nuts that hold the pedal to its pivot arm, and you can loosen these nuts, shift the pedal to your preferred position, and tighten the nuts back down. No more excuses for poor heel-toe downshifts :)
