rhurst Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 My clutch pedal must be pressed all the way to the floor in order to disengage the clutch. Does anyone know how I can adjust the pedal to disengage higher up off the floor? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I am not familiar with the Hudson but have you looked for an adjustable rod from the pedal? What type of clutch is used in your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Is that a cork clutch? Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhurst Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 There are some adjustment points on the connecting rods to the clutch. Thought it best to get expert advice before I started turning things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrhd29nz Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 You’ll want to adjust it by pulling the Clevis pin and turning the threaded part getting the peddle to have an inch or a little more play on the top. Make sure the fork is free of the throw out at this position on the top. If things are worn you can have a lot of lost motion. It’s easily done with the floor boards removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFeeney Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I am surprised you haven't bought a owner's s or a service manual through the Hudson forum or club. it would be money well spent and they would be full of useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhurst Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yes I have several. Just wanted to hear from the "experts" before I did the adjustment. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The real experts wrote the manuals. We are mostly just a bunch of enthusiasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke01 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I found that the owner’s manual from 1922 is much better than the 1924 model. Zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhurst Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thank you Zeke, Best advice on the clutch I have received. Was this photo in the 1922 owners manual? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke01 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Yes. This is the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke01 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I should add that the 1922 and 1923 model Hudsons are virtually identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhurst Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi Zeke, I have the same book but my page 39 does not match with the page you sent me. Maybe there were different editions of the same manual? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke01 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 You may be correct. Mine is the January version. There could have even been changes in the same edition. They were composed 99 years ago. A lot of water under the bridge. Zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhurst Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Just checked mine and it says September 1921 almost 100 years old! Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
