2001 Daihatsu Gran Move pedal pads – fitment, purpose and service tips

Technical documentation for the 2001 Daihatsu Gran Move (G3-series Pyzar)—including factory parts catalogues and the workshop/service manual—shows rubber pedal pads fitted to the brake pedal, and to the clutch pedal on manual variants. The accelerator is typically a moulded plastic pedal without a separate rubber pad. So pedal pads are relevant and used on this model.

On a 2001 Gran Move, pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they provide a grippy, compliant rubber surface so the driver’s footwear doesn’t slip off the brake or clutch. Fresh pads improve pedal feel, reduce the chance of slipping in wet weather, and help keep the cabin tidy by covering the bare metal pedal plate.

Because rubber hardens and wears with age, these pads are consumables—especially in cars that see daily city use or lots of short trips. Owners will often notice the pad going smooth, cracking, or the lip starting to curl away from the metal pedal. When that happens, it’s time for replacement. On automatic Gran Move models there’s normally just the one serviceable pad on the brake pedal, on manual cars, both brake and clutch pads should be checked and replaced as a pair for even feel.

• Inspection: look for glazing (shiny/smooth spots), cracks, missing chunks, or a loose retaining lip.
• Replacement: lever the old pad off, clean the pedal plate with a mild degreaser, then stretch the new pad on—seat the lip fully around the edge.
• Test: press each pedal firmly to confirm the pad doesn’t twist or walk off. Check with wet soles to be sure grip is solid.
• Parts choice: genuine or quality aftermarket rubber pads are best, avoid thin decorative covers that can slip.

There’s no fixed kilometre interval, but a quick check at every service is smart. If the pad has hardened or gone slick, don’t wait—brake feel and safety are worth the five-minute swap. For manuals, replacing clutch and brake pads together keeps the foot feel consistent. If the accelerator surface is worn or broken, replace the whole pedal assembly as required.

Are the pedal pads different between manual and automatic Gran Move models?

Yes. Automatics typically have only a brake pedal pad, while manuals have both brake and clutch pads. The shapes differ between brake and clutch, so order to suit your transmission and build year.

What are the signs a 2001 Gran Move needs new pedal pads?

Common clues include a smooth, shiny surface, hardened rubber, cracking around the edges, or a pad that slips off the pedal plate. Reduced grip with wet shoes is another giveaway.

Can universal pedal covers be used instead of proper rubber pads?

It’s not recommended. Decorative clamp-on covers can shift underfoot. Purpose-made rubber pads that lock onto the pedal plate deliver the grip and fit the Gran Move was designed for.
