This may help some people that don't want to mess with the tiny wires.
I decided to fix the dead space on my 07 GT throttle since I had about 3/8 inch of travel with no engine response.
I followed Tube's advice and took the pedal assembly out and removed the 5 torx screws when I noticed the cover that holds the circuit board has slots where the screws go through it. This allows quit a bit of travel. If you push the cover forward (at the top where the plug is)as far as it will go and tighten the 5 screws, you accomplish the same thing as bending the brushes to reach fartheralong the board.
I tried thison myMustang and now it has no dead space. If you need more travel you could easily open the slots a little further.
I also want to thank Tube for finding and posting the fix for this problem otherwise I would have had no idea where to lookto fix this. Hope this helps some others. BTW the car is much smoothershifting now.

Just did mine like this without having to bend anything. Just "clocked" the top of the cover where the plug is forward(towards the firewall) and all is good. Instant response on the pedal now!!!

So I'm anxious to try out this "rotate the cover" thing before getting to actually bending wires. I'm still a little confused from the descriptions given by the people here. Anyone have pictures of what exactly is involved in this?
