Here's the reimbursement form...

8 Maniac 10-26-2010 08:34 PM

Should this include if we bought a clutch support bracket?

pdxhak 10-26-2010 08:44 PM

Received the letter today. My clutch pedal can creek from time to time. Is that a sign there is a problem?

Razz1 10-26-2010 08:49 PM

What should we be looking for? I got my letter today and my clutch pedal does "squeak" when I depress it, but where is the weak point on the bracket? Where does the crack(s) form?

Can someone post a pic?

Munchy 10-26-2010 09:20 PM

they don't mention any reimbursement of a clutch bracket (i.e. from race roots)

they only mention replacing the assembly...

think i could get reimbursed for the clutch bracket and like one hour labour?

cavemancan 10-26-2010 09:22 PM

I guess the question(s) is:

What if you already got the bracket welded?

What if your already experiencing severe trans issues probably due to all the miles driven with the poor assembly?

Chances are they will tell me too bad you welded the unit so SOL.

i got my reinforcement bracket not to long ago but my clutch was not bad i just installed it so it wouldnt go bad would that consider me for a reinburstment?

Found this description in another thread:

The popping sound could be the clutch pedal assembly. Its a known issue.
Look up at the top of the clutch pedal where it mounts to the firewall.
You'll see a nut at the upper left side. Look for a crack/tear around that area.

If someone has a pic they can post, that would be awesome.

PICTURES!

I think there are more pictures that clearly show the broken area, but this should help in figuring out where to look. If you spend a little time down there and familiarize yourself, you should be able to spot it pretty quickly.

There's already a thread about this that's posted a few weeks ago. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/clutch-pedal-assembly-warranty-206583/

I received my clutch pedal assy warranty extension program letter today.
I gotta say, this is the first time I have ever received any notice that the warranty was going to be extended on anything I have ever purchased.

Read the third page of the letter in the attached "RX8 SSP 82" PDF below.

RX8 SSP 82

Basically all cars from April 10, 2003 - September 13, 2008 have the clutch pedal assembly warranty extended to 8 years, 100,000 miles. If you have already had the clutch pedal replaced, then you are eligible for a reimbursement (no mileage requirement listed for reimbursement).

I wonder if they will reimburse for the RaceRoots clutch pedal reinforcement? Or if I can claim the clutch pedal broke and wrecked my transmission?

If this is what you bought, you'll be reimbursed for it.

rx8_504 10-27-2010 01:16 AM

dammm so it would only reinburst if you had replaced the clutch pedal for a new one...that sucks...i have the race roots reinforcement bracket but its ok ill live with it and if it ever breaks at least we know its covered

Junirol 10-27-2010 01:30 AM

yea i got that letter today too, too little too late? I already got the race roots clutch bracket, i guess its better late than never.

Twiztog43 10-27-2010 01:39 AM

well yea, but think of it this way, even if they replace it, it will still break again anyway, so it is good that you have the reinforcement bracket. nothing to worry about.

SiLVeRE8 10-27-2010 02:53 AM

dammit received mine today, but fixed my squeaky clutch pedal with lube and wd40 long time ago... the squeak never came back, but i still want a new one just incase... wonder if can i revive the squeak lol.

Yeah, mine started creaking when I first got the car, then stopped creaking for a while..Then just one day went SNAP!

phey_05 04-12-2011 02:02 PM

Does any one got any reimbursement from mazda at all

I just sent mine last week.
I sent all the invoices and explanation letter, i hope they refund it even though i bought it from race roots...

phey_05 04-12-2011 04:43 PM

Anyone?

Beefy98 04-13-2011 10:39 AM

so if this reimbursement is just for 04-09 cars does that mean that the factory fixed it for the 2010s? I still can't get an answer. Charles R. Hill has prolly written a million words on this subject alone but won't clarify this lol.
