Clutch pedal Fix Soon 2004, 2005 RX8

Sooner or later the 2004 and 2005 RX8 owner will have to do something about their Clutch pedal. Well I Recommend Owners to check their clutch pedal and DIY take it off and have some one reenforce the left side of the bracket or get a BHR clutch bracket support kit to fix this problem before it turn into big problem.
I did not fix this problem on my car, lucky when I replace a new clutch they found this problem but they had to take it out and weld it back to original shape cost $100. If I would have take it out myself and take it to a welder it probably cost $20. Or get BHR kit for $135 and you could DIY.
Don't wait till it's too late you might be on the side of the road and had to tow it. $$$$
Good luck , thanks for reading my blog

I didn't have money at one point and end up put a flusher ring over the broken bracket, it worked but when I changed new clutch the presure plate was too strong and broke the bracket again. Unable to move the car out of the shop, I was force to have machenic take the pedal out and weld it but with reeforcement metal for the total of $100 dollars. If I would have bought the reenforcement kit for $135 then I could have done it myself without welding.

That's why I got the clutch bracket reinforce. I really want to avoid welding.
