Wouldn't get into to gear, now its fine

Early today when I was driving I couldn't shift gears like something was blocking it. If I put the car in gear when the car was off the car would just shake. I called the tow truck, driver had the same problem , put was able to drive it by syhro(sp??) shifting . When the was car towed to the shop it was shifting normal again. The mechanic just said drive it for few days. What do guys think the problem might be ? Should I be worried?

I'd guess a bad clutch master or slave cylinder. Possibly this:

Yeah, I'd worry about getting stuck again. But since it's now working OK, it's hard to do much other than wait for the symptoms to come back. Unless your VIN is in the range in the TSB...then take it to Mazda for a look-see.

I'll let others chime in about the clutch bracket.
