Why don't you take it to the dealership? I know that there is a recall and Mazda extended the clutch warranty to 8 years/100,000 miles. People have been receiving the letters informing of the warranty extension and I just received mine.

Ha ha ha true, I was just saying because they would replace the clutch pedal assembly for free if it's faulty.

since you said that i am curious what guidelines prompt the dealership to have to replace it

This is part of the letter I received: "On certain 2004-2009 RX-8 vehicles, it is possible that the clutch pedal bracket may have a crack, causing an abnormal noise. If the clutch pedal continues to be operated with this condition, the clutch pedal bracket may break, changing the disengagement point of the clutch and possibly preventing the shifting of gears.

If your RX-8 experiences this symptom, please make an appointment with a Mazda dealer to have the vehicle inspected. If the clutch and/or shifting problem is due to the broken clutch pedal bracket, your dealer will replace the clutch pedal assembly free of charge, during the terms of this warranty extension program."

Sorry but why not just buy the $135 bracket from Race Roots?

Mine started squeaking recently as well. I had the race roots bracket already installed. When I took it to the dealership, they said no dice. Has to be a "verified complaint of a popping noise" otherwise Mazda kicks the warranty payment back. I removed my pedal assembly and found it to be coming from a plastic bushing between the spring and the pedal. Bottom line, it still squeaks but, it's not gonna break.

squeaking can be fixed with lube... my car was doing that about a year ago

This last week it started CLUNKING and I can feel my clutch pedal jerk back into place as I depress it ... I just ordered my bracket and I am not driving my 8 until I install it
