Steven Palmer Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I have a 1950 Studibaker champion. The clutch is dead on the floor. I think I need a clutch slave cylinder. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61polara Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Your car doesn't have one. I would look at the clutch return spring to see if it is broken or missing. Your clutch actuation is all mechanical unless someone has modified the car in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 They are through-the-floor pedals so look at them under the hood and see why the pedal is on the floor. It seems to me something is broken if it is right down. You may have to roll underneath to see where the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictator27 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 It sounds like the spot welds on the clutch release cross shaft in the bellhousing may have broken. The transmission and bellhousing will need to be removed to reweld the fork to the shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're crawling UNDER the car to see why the pedal rests on the floor; not 'maybe'. Suspended pedals cars from 1961 (1963 in Champ trucks) & later had suspended pedals where one could see a portion of the linkage by looking under the hood.
