1994 Nissan Primera Pedal Pads — Purpose, Care, and Replacement
Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 1994 Nissan Primera (P10). Factory documentation identifies replaceable rubber pads on the brake and clutch pedals (manual models), with the accelerator typically a moulded plastic tread. This is supported by the Nissan Primera P10 Service Manual (1990–1996), Sections BR (Brake) and CL (Clutch), which illustrate a “Pad–Pedal” on those pedals, and by the Nissan FAST electronic parts catalogue for P10 Europe listing “PAD-PEDAL” for brake and clutch. Commonly supplied genuine Nissan part number 46545-01A00 fits the brake and clutch pads on many P10 variants, while auto models use the brake pad only.
On a 1994 Primera, the pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they give grippy, comfortable contact between shoe and pedal, helping the driver apply steady pressure, rain or shine. Over time the rubber hardens, polishes smooth, or cracks, especially with Aussie and Kiwi heat, wet boots, and city stop–start driving. When they get slippery or thin, braking feel suffers and foot-off slips become more likely.
As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to inspect the pedal pads every 10,000–15,000 km. If the surface is glossy, the ribs are worn flat, or the rubber is splitting at the corners, swap them out. Replacement is a quick driveway job: the old pad peels off the pedal plate, and the new one stretches over the metal edge. A dab of mild soapy water helps the lip seat evenly. Make sure the backside of the pedal plate is clean and rust-free so the new pad grips properly.
For manuals, replace both brake and clutch pads together so the feel is consistent. On autos, just do the brake. The accelerator on most P10s uses an integral plastic tread, if it’s excessively worn or loose, the pedal assembly or cover should be inspected per the service manual rather than trying to force on a rubber brake/clutch pad.
- Tell-tales it’s time: smooth/glazed surface, visible cracking, pad slipping on the metal, or your foot sliding in the wet.
- Choose quality rubber pads (genuine or OEM-spec) to maintain the original pedal feel and durability.
- After fitting, test in a safe spot: dry and wet shoe checks for grip and pedal return.
Popular questions about 1994 Nissan Primera pedal pads
What pedal pad fits the brake and clutch on a 1994 Primera?
Most P10 models use a common Nissan rubber pad for both brake and clutch, often referenced as 46545-01A00. Manual cars take two, autos take one for the brake. It’s best to verify by VIN against the Nissan FAST catalogue if the car has regional differences.
How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval, but a visual check every service is wise. In typical Australian and New Zealand conditions, many owners find they last 5–10 years. Replace sooner if the surface is shiny, cracking, or slippery—especially if the car sees wet-weather commuting.
Can a home mechanic replace them?
Yes. With the engine off, pull the old pad off the pedal plate, clean the metal, then stretch the new pad over the lip, ensuring the corners seat fully. It’s a 5–10 minute job per pedal with basic hand strength and no special tools.
