Once the arm is held in place then the person in the car slowly brings the pedal back up. As the pedal comes back up it will get to a point then start to click. The clicking is the ratched adjusting. Let it click twice then press the pedal back to the floor. Remove bar and give the car a drive to see if its made any difference. Repeat as needed.
If you adjust it too far then give the pedal an upwars tug and it should effectively reset the ratchet mech, press the pedal a couple of times and it'll self adjust to where it was before you started.
Worth a try before you pull the gearbox out.
A bit late ... but I finally came around to try this ...and it seems that it has done the job ...feels alot better now .. so ..
