Weird clutch problem
Hi, I have a weird problem with my rx8 2004 clutch, i have searched for a similar problem in this forum and i've found nothing...
When i get to the parking, when i tried to parked the car i push the pedal and it sound something like cracked, so i thought something cracked, as there are a lot of posts about it, but when i saw the pedal i saw nothing cracked, everything look normal, so what could it be, is it related with some liquid it uses that maybe there is lack of it, like hydraulic liquid or is something related with a cable like something i've found that says "Agency Power Steel Braided Clutch Line 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 (SE3P) - P/N: AP-RX8-400"
i had to take my car back to my house i have to get first gear with the car off then turned it on off course with the pedal down, so the pedal worked in some way because it would a brusque start as a usual start in first gear car, so if someone could help me would be great...
as soon as i start the car in first gear, then i could switch to second and third and all other gears except reverse, so in every red light i had to turn off the car get the first gear and then start it again...

update
Hi guys, just some minutes after i wrote the post, i got my mechanic, and he told me and showed me the base of the pedal was broke, so the cracked i heard was when it broke, he told me that the master clutch pump is leaking but i couldn't find this part, i imagine i can find this as the master clutch cylinder, i live in Costa Rica, so i don't know if mazda dealers covers that kind of warranty here, i have like 74000 miles...
My mechanic took off the pedal and he said he's going to fix it, i asked if it would be better to buy a new one enforced, but he told me getting it fixed could be better because the thing is going to be enforced with the fix...
Now the question is about this clutch pump (or clutch master cylinder) leaking, if it's leaking is necessary to change the part, of could it be something else ?
