Ok so just got a 89 xj 4.0 5 speed 4x4 and I can't get my foot on the gas with out hitting the brake because it is so close to the trans tunnel. Is there another year of peddles that I can swap in to fix this problem? If not I'm going to have to sell this thing because it's so bad.

The pedals being offset to the left doesn't help either.
