The left pedal is reverse-threaded and, looking at the threads, they appear to angle upwards to the left.

It’s often the case that your sustain pedal is working in reverse because it’s using an opposite polarity to the keyboard it’s plugged into. Not all pedals and keyboards are compatible but if you are using a universal sustain pedal, check that the polarity switch is in the correct position.

Why is left pedal reverse threaded?

The real reason for left-hand threads is to prevent unthreading due to a phenomenon called “precession,” which is not obvious. The force your foot exerts on the pedal tends to make the threaded pedal rod roll around inside the threaded hole.

Grease is water resistant and helps protect the treads of the pedal and crank from corrosion. When it’s time to change pedals again, you’ll be happy you greased them.

Smoother shifting of gears is done by pushing the brake and gas pedal simultaneously. The drivers push the accelerator according to the engine speed for harmonizing with the lower gear speed. You should not do this as an unprofessional at all. The mechanism can damage the entire transmission system in no time.
