What do you mean it ratchets. Do you mean pulses back and forth or is it a very fast rattle?

Why have you gotta rat on yer pedal? An I'm not surprised it ****s if ya put yer foot on it.

no it makes a noise like. it seems like its constantly adjusting to make the peedle harder as it can be a bit soft.

It's the plastic washers inside that break up and cause the problem.
