'50 Ford - I know the free travel should be set to 1 to 1-1/2 inches, but our clutch doesn't start grabbing until very close to the top of the pedal travel. Like your foot and leg is way up high. Is that because the clutch is worn, or is that just the nature of the beast? It takes a bit of getting used to - not like you can toe/heal rock to start engagement like on other manual tranny cars I've driven.
