I don’t believe that the arm is cracked or that there is an obstruction. I scraped the paint from the arm and while my wife operated the clutch pedal over and over again, I could not see any problems. I wore strong reading glasses while looking. Before scraping the paint, I noticed that there were cracks in the paint at what I thought would be the arm’s stress points. I’m wondering if the arm has been flexing/bending. My wife and I agree that this clutch takes a too much pressure to get it to the floor. This problem has been growing slowly for some months but just now got to this point.

My other Model A is an early (March ’28) OCPU. It has what I assume is an early clutch/transmission conversion. This clutch pedal takes little effort to floorboard. I have owned both vehicles for over 30 years.

Again, any and all help/suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks, Robert
