The 1958-1967 Automatic Transmission/Power Brake Pad is a specialized component designed for vehicles equipped with both automatic transmissions and power brake systems during that era. Here's more information about this part:
Function: The automatic transmission/power brake pad serves as the surface that the driver's foot presses against when applying either the brake pedal or the transmission pedal (often referred to as the "gas" pedal in automatic transmission vehicles). It provides grip and comfort, allowing the driver to apply the brake or accelerator with precision and control. In vehicles with power brake systems, additional force may be required to operate the brakes compared to non-power brake systems, and this pad assists the driver in exerting that force comfortably.
Design: The pad is typically made of durable rubber or plastic material, designed to withstand the repeated pressure and friction from the driver's foot. It often features a textured surface for enhanced grip and may have raised edges to prevent the foot from slipping off during operation. The design of the pad is specific to the vehicle's brake and accelerator pedal configuration, ensuring a proper fit and function.
Compatibility: The 1958-1967 Automatic Transmission/Power Brake Pad is designed to fit a range of vehicles manufactured during that period, including various makes and models from different automotive manufacturers. These vehicles were equipped with both automatic transmissions and power brake systems, which necessitated a specific design for the pedal pad to accommodate both functions effectively.
Replacement and Maintenance: Over time, brake and accelerator pedal pads can wear out or become damaged due to regular use and exposure to the elements. When this occurs, it's essential to replace the pad to maintain safe and comfortable driving conditions. Replacement pedal pads are available with us
