On my Auto 318ti, the gas pedal has what I call 2 stages. The first 2 inches of travel are realtively light, and then after that, the remainder of the travel is stiffer, as if a second resistance spring has kicked in. In my quest for knowledge for a auto to trans swap, I would like to know from those with a manual, what is the gas pedal like? Smooth the whole way, or notched like on my auto. I think the manual would need to be smooth. The swapped 330ti is smooth.
That leads me to the next question? What is it that causes the notched gas pedal feel?
Thanks in advance for any help. __________________
