Why would you sell a car to someone with a safety defect? It's not like taking off an aftermarket exhaust.

The improvement / benefit is the piece of mind that your clutch pedal will not snap when shifting. Any other transmission issue is not going to be fixed by the bracket.

Put it on and leave it on, the clutch needs it for safety reasons

Show this article to the dealership: This should help.

Take this to the dealership and demand they fix it ASAP.
