Default Can not shift to 2nd or 3rd gear

Hi everyone, I have a 31 Model A roadster deluxe. The car has been in the family for 25+ years. The clutch or pressure plate has not been replaced or adjusted as I am aware of. When putting car into storage last fall I was unable to shift the car into 2nd or 3rd gear. It was as if the gate to 2nd and 3rd gear was closed. I could not get the car to shift. This spring I got car out of storage and got her ready to run. I made a quick test run and had the same shifting issues. I brought that car back and checked the clutch pedal clearance and the throughout bearing operation threw the inspection plate in the bell housing. I have too much pedal movement before the clutch disengages. The clutch adjustment rod is screwed all the way in no more adjustment is available.

It is acting like the clutch is not fully disengaging even though the throughout bearing appears to be operating properly. I'm not sure if something has broken within the shifting tower or the pressure plate is out of adjustment or the clutch plate is bad.

What do you suggest?

Thank you,

Rick
