NOPE! Instead the glue leaked and now the washer is literally welded via superglue to the bottom of the plastic housing and stuck at the bottom permanently!
Method #2: Removed the two Philips screws and the plastic console but can't for the life of me disconnect the damn electrical connector. My fingers are literally bleeding trying to squeeze the two ends and pulling out simultaneously. There is no room! Even had my buddy climb into the passenger side and use a long straight edge screw driver to pry up while I was squeezing the two ends together. Nothing! I don't $&#@&#@ get it!
Anyone want to buy a SprintBooster (Automatic Transmission 3-mode version (off, normal, or race mode)? I'll sell it for $200.
Just installed my SprintBooster V3, and it was a little frustrating. Tried the panel off method, but I could not get the connector off no matter how I tried, similar to the issue evek2345 had. So, I then tried to remove the pedal. Could not get the washer out with a pretty powerful magnet until I used a stout straight slot screwdriver and pushed forward on the bottom of the gas pedal. It appears that the pedal assembly is pushing the washer against the threads of the pedal bolt, preventing the washer from moving. So by pushing with the screwdriver, I relieved that pressure on the washer and it came right out with the magnet. Be careful, because you can push too hard with the screwdriver and end up in the same situation, unable to remove the washer. Once I got the pedal off the stud, installation was easy.
So far, really enjoying the improved throttle response! Still playing with the settings to find my sweet spot...
