Clutch Problems
Hello all,
New member so I could only post here. While driving my RX8 trying to do a U-turn, I pressed my clutch in and all of a sudden my clutch stick started to rattle for a bit and all of a sudden my engine shuts off. I went to Mazda and they want $390 just to do a diagnosis and take off the transmission, clutch, and engine. Instead I went to tow the car a private autoshop to find out the problem was and still awaiting for the cause. Background is that I'm still pretty new to driving and my thought is that I slipped the clutch too much and was driving on the highway pretty hard the other day. . . I'm just hoping this is only the clutch :/. Any thoughts of what it could be?

Does you're clutch squeak when pressing it or wiggle side it side quite a bit both are signs of a broken clutch peddle.
