As the clutch springs are compressed the load on the pedal is increased.
The linkage is designed to increase the mechanical advantage as the pedal is depressed.
The effective length of the crank is reduced as the angle increases.
It allows the pedal to be held down with a minimum of effort.

Bingo, Give that man a Ciigarrrr !

Everything about the clutch linkage is how AMC engineers designed it except for the rod to the release arm leverage point and the release arm and even that is close. (2.17 vs 2.0 ratio) 

There really are no "adjustments" from the bellcrank up to swing that arm forward to achieve the "arc" that was previously suggested.

You can feel the advantage that Peter speaks of when depressing the pedal and it "feels" right,,,time will tell if it "drives" right.

Thanks, Mike
