Clutch pedal

[rscardina]

Does this clutch pedal appear correct? This is on my 1930 coupe. My manual by Les Andrews doesn't show it with the spring.

Here is another view of it.

This is what you have...

Do you have a 4-speed or multi-disc clutch?

 

[Kurt in NJ]

Take the inspection plate off the bellhousing and look to see if the spring (A7562)to the to bearing is missing---that spring is a modification to get around fixing something

 

[rscardina]

I have a 3 speed. Not sure about the multidisc clutch.

 

[rscardina]

I will remove the inspection plate and check tomorrow.

Look for this spring https://www.brattons.com/throw-out-bearing-spring.html

If the you have the 1928 multidisc clutch, the top cover will be wider than it is tall. On the common single disc clutch, the cover is taller than it is wide.

On a truck 4 speed ******, the cover is the same width as height.

Does the AA use the pedal spring in addition to a throw out bearing spring?

Does the AA use the pedal spring in addition to a throw out bearing spring?

Yes.

I think the clutch pedal on the AA is the same as the car, but the brake pedal is made heavier.

 

[Ed Saniewski]

Harly, do you think that AA spring is stronger then the standard throw out spring? The regular spring in my overdrive trans dose not pull the clutch pedal back very well and a stronger spring would be a great help. Thanks.

Weaker

I use both springs in the F150-Model A setup.

 

[rscardina]

I'm pretty sure my inspection cover is taller than wide. I will check for the throw-out spring this evening. Should I remove the spring on the clutch pedal if I find the spring is on the throw-out bearing?

 

[harleytoprock]

The pedal spring can't hurt any thing. But it shouldn't be there, on your car, for judging.

 

[rscardina]

I don't have to worry about judging. Mine is definitely not a points car.

Only the 1928 vehicles equipped with the multiple disc clutch had the return spring. Your 1930 coupe should not require one. There would be enough return pressure without the spring..

 

[rscardina]

I checked tonight. It does have the throw-out bearing spring. It also appears to have enough pressure without the pedal spring. As a matter of fact, the pedal spring didn't appear to be doing much. I was able to unhook it without any tools (just using my hand). I will not put it back on. I have another issue now. The pedals I have do not have the grease fittings. The brake pedal is very loose (I am able to move it side to side). The clutch pedal seems to be fine. Neither has the brass bushings. Where should I go from here?

 

[Tom Wesenberg]

Your shaft might be worn and need to be replaced. That's what fixed my loose pedals.

No grease zerks is no problem. Just grease them when you slide them on the shaft, and oil them each time you get under the car. There is a thin spring washer to fit between the two pedals.
