Clutch problem on 30 CCPU
I went out to move the Model A pickup yesterday, it started fine, pushed the clutch in and moved it forward about a foot. The clutch pedal went all the way to the floor, movement stopped. I checked underneath to make sure nothing was disconnected with the pedal etc and nothing obvious. I have not removed the floor to check through the inspection plate but thought maybe someone else had this problem in the past. The previous day, I drove the pickup for a coupe of miles with no problem. Any suggestions welcome.

Re: Clutch problem on 30 CCPU
Good Morning...This happened to me about 16 years ago with a 31 Tudor that I had just purchased...It turned out to be the clutch adjusting rod had broken...its a small piece, so you have to look for it...pull the clutch up and put a block of wood or something to hold it up and then go under the truck and look for the rod hanging on the end of the clutch...Ernie in Arizona

Re: Clutch problem on 30 CCPU
The operating arm could also be cracked thru the pin.

Re: Clutch problem on 30 CCPU
Very common, here's mine. You are lucky it happened near the corral. Mine broke a few miles. I had to drive it home in second gear. Stoplights were fun...

Re: Clutch problem on 30 CCPU
Most may not know this yet however a new arm was just released and will likely be available from your favorite supplier. This one should be plug & play as-is as it is made from a better quality material. Here is a link to one supplier's listing;

Re: Clutch problem on 30 CCPU
Thanks Brent. I just ordered one on your recommend. But I chuckle to myself whenever I buy a repro part (or original, for than matter) and pay more than $10 for it, since I bought my entire, original, complete, one-owner Tudor in 1961 for only $125.
