I got in the Moggie this morning ('67, +4), and decided to drive it because
it's the first decent day we've had in the Valley in weeks. So I cranked it
up and puttered off, and noticed that -- somehow the clutch pedal and brake
pedal were joined. Push the clutch, the brakes go on. It seems that if I'm
pushing the brake, the clutch pedal moves too. Not good. I poke at it a
bit, and drive it around the block, and the car is acting a lot like a car
acts when the clutch is on its last legs. I drive it back to the driveway,
sulk, and take the Defender.

Is this something stupid that if I know the right place to bang, the pieces
that have bound together will unbind? Or am I looking at what I fear, a new
clutch?
