2000 Nissan Navara (D22) Pedal Pads
Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 2000 Nissan Navara D22. The Nissan D22 Workshop Manual (1997–2004) specifies replaceable rubber covers for the brake and clutch pedals on manual models, and a wide rubber brake pedal cover on automatic models. The Nissan FAST/D22 parts catalogue likewise lists dedicated rubber pedal covers for these positions. The accelerator on most D22 variants uses an integral treaded pedal and is not typically a replaceable rubber pad item.
On a 2000 Navara, pedal pads do a deceptively important job. They add grip in the wet, reduce boot slip, cushion the foot, and protect the metal pedal plate underneath. Over time, the rubber hardens and smooths off, especially in utes that cop beach runs, farm work, or muddy site boots. Once they glaze or crack, the pedal can feel slick, which isn’t a risk worth taking.
As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to eyeball the brake and clutch pedal pads every 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months. If the ribs are worn flat, the rubber is shiny, cracked, or the pad can be twisted by hand, it’s due. Many roadworthy and WOF inspections in Australia and New Zealand will ping worn-through or insecure pedal rubbers, so staying on top of them helps keep the Navara compliant as well as safe.
Replacement is straightforward and quick:
- Peel off the old pad (a plastic trim tool helps).
- Degrease the bare pedal plate and dry it well.
- Hook the new pad’s bottom lip first, then work it over the plate until the edge sits fully in the groove all around.
Avoid silicone sprays or greasy cleaners on or near the pad—they kill grip. Go for OEM or OEM-style rubber with decent rib depth, “dress-up” metal covers can be slippery and may not pass inspection. Some pads have an orientation mark—fit them the right way up.
Manual D22s run clutch and brake pads, autos just the brake pad. The accelerator is generally an integrated pedal, so it isn’t swapped like the others. Many owners replace clutch and brake pads as a pair so the feel and grip match side to side. Given the low cost and big safety payoff, keeping fresh pedal pads on a 2000 Navara is a no-brainer.
Replace the pads if you notice:
- Slippery feel in the wet or with dusty boots
- Ribs worn smooth, cracks, or hard shiny rubber
- Visible metal pedal plate or a pad that won’t stay seated
Fitment note: D22 platform (approx. 1997–2004) uses model-specific pedal rubbers, check your VIN and transmission type to order the correct ones.
FAQ
What pedal pads fit a 2000 Navara D22?
Use D22-specific rubber pads for the brake (manual and auto) and clutch (manual only). The automatic’s brake pad is typically wider than the manual’s. The accelerator is usually an integral treaded pedal and not a separate replaceable rubber pad. If unsure, match by VIN and transmission.
Will worn pedal pads fail a WOF or roadworthy?
They can. If a pedal pad is worn through, hard and slippery, cracked, or insecure on the pedal plate, inspectors in Australia and New Zealand may fail it. Fresh, grippy pads help meet safety standards and keep the ute compliant.
How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval, but checking them at every service (around 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months) is a good habit. Utes that see wet worksites, beach driving, or heavy daily use may need pads more often. Replace at the first sign of glazing, cracking, or reduced grip.
