Hello all I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section. My clutch gave out coming to a stop heard a snap kinda sounded like plastic then no clutch had to drive (limp) 15 miles in NY in 2nd gear. I replaced the clutch master when I bleed it from the slave I get fluid but still barley any pressure. It didn't take long to see that 1000's have bracket problems. I was wondering if any one could link or post instructions on removing the bracket. Far as I got was removing the 2 nuts fastening the master cyl. I can see its clearly broken and Northtown Mazda™ will not cover the part or work. I'd rather DIY any how. Also just making sure that the bracket broken like it is would alone prevent me from shifting. Seriously any help is greatly appreciated I'm getting the kinks worked out Ive replaced the ssv, air pump, radiator & inter coolers plugs & wires and motors been replaced lol. Sorry about the rant thanks a lot in advance! -Matt Buffalo NY 2004 Mazda rx8 gt 2 tone red black leather seats 6sp sport suspension bla bla bla :D

 

There isn't a bracket that will break...there is an issue with the clutch pedal in the car breaking??...is it that?

Sounds like you just need to bleed the lines properly. It can be a bitch to bled....it is easiest with a pressure bleeder as for some reason it seems to like holding on to air
