<p>The assembly for a motor vehicle includes an upper carrier structure (29) and a pedal arm (28a) extending downwardly therefrom. The carrier structure (29) is slidably mounted on a hollow guide rod (16b) extending rearwardly from a transmission housing (16a). A nut (32) is positioned slidably within the guide rod (16b) and a screw shaft (48c) extends rearwardly from the transmission housing (16a) for threaded engagement with the nut (32). The nut (32) is drivingly connected to the carrier structure (29) so that linear movement of the nut (32) within the guide rod (16b) upon rotation of the screw shaft (48c) produces movement of the pedal assembly along the guide rod (16b). In a first embodiment, the transmission housing (16a) is mounted on an arm (14) which is pivotally mounted on the vehicle firewall (22). In a second embodiment, the transmission housing (112a) is fixedly mounted on the vehicle firewall (122) and the pedal arm (146) is pivotally mounted on the carrier structure (113) and controls a potentiometer (160) carried by the carrier structure (113).</p> |
