The reason I ask is because it was in the path of my clutch pedal and it actually knicked the plunger. I wonder if it was causing the rubbing I experienced that mazda couldnt identify. I moved it out of the way because it's a REALLY flimsy piece of metal. You can bend it with just one finger.

I couldn't really tell from your picture, so I went out and looked at mine. It looks like it is just a piece of that bracket against the firewall. No idea what its purpose is, though. It doesn't really look like it does anything...
Edit: I'll take a look in the service manual in a bit.

I didn't find anything either (in the FSM). At first I was thinking maybe it is a stop, but if it is that flimsy, it wouldn't stop anything. All I can think of is maybe it is a guide for installing the master cylinder to keep the rod from falling out before connecting it to the back of the pedal? I'm really reaching here...
