Hi brownbaker,
I was having a similar problem with my brake pedal recently. On older cars theres a grease nipple on the bottom of the brake and clutch pedal where they pivot on the floor. Give them some new grease and work the pedal back and forth a few times. Its a bit of a game getting your head and arms in the footwell to do it but worth it. I don't think my pedals had been regreased ths century by how much better they were afterwards!
