I have a 65 GT coup with the four speed that was working find until I didn't drive it this past winter. Now when I push in the clutch pedal, the brake pedal also goes down. I have to pull it up with my foot. When I push on the brake pedal, it only goes down a little ways, but the clutch pedal also goes down. It's like they have attached themselves to each other. Is this a bushing problem or is something else going on here?

Bushing or worn pedal support bracket. Might be time to invest in a roller bearing kit for it.

Thanks dennis112. I have purchased a roller bearing assembly but don’t know if I can install it. I’m not as young as I use to be. Working under that dash would be a challenge to say the least.

As a fellow senior citizen I certainly can relate. Raising the car off the ground helps me some. Best of luck to ya!
