Parts for your 2006 Nissan Navara-Pedal pads

2006 Nissan Navara pedal pads — what they do and when to replace them

Pedal pads are absolutely fitted to the 2006 Nissan Navara (D40). Technical references that confirm this include the Nissan Navara D40 Service Manual — which calls out inspection of brake and clutch pedal rubber pads in the Brake (BR) and Clutch (CL) sections — and the Nissan FAST Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for D40 models, which lists dedicated rubber “Pad–Pedal” items for the brake pedal (all transmissions) and the clutch pedal (manuals). On these utes, the accelerator uses an integrated plastic tread as part of the pedal assembly rather than a separate rubber pad.

On a 2006 Navara, the pedal pads are the grippy rubber covers fitted over the metal brake and (if manual) clutch pedals. Their whole job is to stop boots slipping, especially when it’s wet or muddy, and to give a consistent feel underfoot. They also protect the pedal arm from wear and reduce noise and vibration. Because they’re safety-critical, a worn pad can be the difference between a confident stop and a dodgy, slippery moment — not what anyone wants in a workhorse ute.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to check the pads every service interval or roughly every 10,000–15,000 kilometres. Replace them straight away if they’re smooth and shiny, have cracks, are thinning through the centre, or the edges have started curling. For manuals, give the clutch pad the same scrutiny as the brake. The accelerator generally isn’t a serviceable rubber pad on the D40
