A pedal assembly (10) having a housing (12) and a pedal arm (14) pivotally connected to the housing (12) for movement between a rest position and an operative position. A pair of springs (38, 40) are mounted within the housing (12). The springs (38, 40) have first distal ends (42, 46) seated against the housing (12) and second distal ends (44, 48) engaging a second end (20) of the pedal arm (14) to provide resistance during the movement of the pedal arm (14). A cap (60) is disposed over the second end (20) of the pedal arm (14). The pedal assembly (10) is characterized by the cap (60) including a first portion (62) and a second portion (64) with the second distal ends (44, 48) of the springs (38, 40) engaging the cap (60). The second portion (64) of the cap (60) is movable relative to the first portion (62) of the cap (60) when the pedal arm (14) moves between the rest and operative positions such that the first (62) and second (64) portions engage an inner surface (28) of the housing (12) to provide increased resistance during the movement of the pedal arm (14).
