Wurlitzer Sustain Clunky, and stiff

Hey,

I'm trying to diagnose my 200a's sustain pedal, it's pretty clicky and stiff. I replaced it with a new cable from vintage vibe but it's still not very seamless. I'm not sure if it's just the nature of the sustain but I'm comparing it to a grand piano or acoustic. Should it have a similar action?

Figured it out, the pedal blocks were upside down causing it to put too much tension on the pedal itself. This resulted in a bunch of weird click and the spring being hard to push down. Flipped the blocks the right way, and it worked perfectly!
