Clutch Question
Love these old cars-seems like there is always something but then again shes 93 years old. With the car running, I depress the clutch pedal, put the car in gear, and with the clutch pedal still depressed, when I take my foot off the brake, the car is in gear and moving. What is the first thing I should check? Thanks. Steve

Re: Clutch Question
Will do. The pedal free play just shy of an inch. Thank you.

Re: Clutch Question
Gotcha. I believe if I turn the clevis counter clockwise it should increase the pedal play.

Re: Clutch Question
It may also be possible that the clutch fingers are not adjusted equally. If I remember correctly they should be adjusted to within 0.002 inch of each other. If they are not adjusted equally one side of the pressure plate could be dragging.
