A pedal assembly (12) for electronically controlling an engine throttle (38). The pedal assembly (12) includes a pedal housing (14), a pedal arm (18) pivotally engaging the pedal housing (14), and an electrical generator (30) supported by the pedal housing (14). The pedal arm (18) is operable between an idle position (24) and a plurality of operable positions. When the pedal arm (18) is pivoted to a predetermined operable position (50), a kickdown member (46) provides a kickdown feel to a user. Simultaneously, the electrical generator (30) generates a control signal having a predetermined magnitude causing the automatic transmission (42) to downshift to a next lower gear. The kickdown member (46) is adjustable to synchronize the kickdown feel provided by the kickdown member (46) with the downshift to the next lower gear.
