Parts for your 2006 Honda Stream-Pedal pads

2006 Honda Stream pedal pads — fitment, purpose and easy upkeep

Referencing technical sources, pedal pads are indeed fitted to the 2006 Honda Stream. Honda’s Electronic Parts Catalogue for RN-series Stream models lists a rubber brake pedal pad, and a clutch pedal pad for manual variants. The Honda Stream service manual (brake and clutch sections) specifies inspection of pedal pad condition for wear or contamination. Roadworthiness guidance used in Australia and New Zealand (e.g., NZTA VIRM requirements for an effective anti-slip pedal surface, and state roadworthy checks) also treats worn or missing pedal rubbers as defects. So yes — the 2006 Stream uses pedal pads: brake (auto and manual) and clutch (manual only), the accelerator pedal face is typically an integrated plastic surface.

On this model, the pedal pad’s job is simple but important: provide grippy, cushioned contact so boots don’t slip, especially when it’s wet. The rubber also dampens vibration and gives a consistent pedal feel. Over time the pad hardens, goes shiny, or cracks, which reduces traction and can affect safety.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to check pedal pads every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres. If the pad is smooth, glazed, cracked, loose, or contaminated with oil/dressing, replace it. Automatic models have one rubber pad on the brake, manual models have two (brake and clutch). The accelerator is a moulded pedal face and is usually replaced only if damaged.

• Signs it’s time to replace:
  • Shiny, hard, or plasticky feel underfoot
  • Cracks, chunks missing, or pattern worn flat
  • Pad loose on the metal pedal plate
  • Foot slips in wet weather or with damp footwear

• Care tips:
  • Clean with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly
  • Avoid petroleum cleaners or silicone dressings on the pad
  • Keep floor mats clipped/anchored so they can’t ride up under the pedals

1. Pull off the old rubber pad (a trim tool helps).
2. Clean the bare pedal plate, remove grit and old residue.
3. Warm the new pad slightly (sun or warm water) so it’s more pliable.
4. Hook the pad over one edge and roll it on until all lips seat fully.

It’s a cheap, quick DIY that restores proper pedal feel and keeps the Stream roadworthy for Aussie and Kiwi conditions.

Does a 2006 Honda Stream automatic have fewer pedal pads than a manual?

Yes. The auto has a rubber brake pedal pad only. Manual models have both brake and clutch pedal pads. The accelerator in both cases is a hard plastic/metal assembly without a separate rubber pad.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?

There’s no strict interval, replace on condition. Many owners find 5–10 years is typical, but heavy city driving, wet weather, or gritty footwear can speed wear. Inspect at each service and swap them if they’re shiny, cracked, loose, or the tread is mostly gone.

Will worn pedal pads fail WOF or roadworthy checks in NZ or Australia?

They can. Inspectors look for a secure, effective anti-slip surface on the brake (and clutch, if fitted). If the pad is missing, smooth, or insecure, it’s likely to be flagged until replaced.
