It's all one piece. It's not supposed to be available separate. This is your best option if you are buying a replacement out of pocket: Black Halo Racing Reinforced Clutch Pedal | Black Halo Racing
Forum vendor with a top tier reputation, comparatively priced to the dealer assembly, and this one won't ever break.

fantastic
Fantastic diy. Worked 100% as described and got me back on the road same day it happened instead of waiting 5-7 days for a replacement. Pretty sure it will be much stronger now with a full weld instead of just a couple tacks. Great job and THANK YOU!

Clutch pedal bracket snapped on bottom left nut. Right side of the spring has been chewing through the bracket for a while. Ordered new clutch pedal assembly from Mazda... $68. Best price on a part from a dealership ever. Hopeful this is a permanent fix for the life of the car.
Very easy DIY.
Thanks for the write up and pics.

Thank you for the DIY, and watch for starting issues with blowing fuses,the starter interlock switch can ground after the pedal half breaks, causing the ACC fuse to blow at random when you start the car.
Good luck finding the short before the clutch pedal completely snaps.
"If your ACC fuse blows, check your clutch pedal" LOL

RX8 Clutch - recall?
Hi, I notice in your post that it says to check the nhtsa website re defects investigation. Sorry to be a bit thick, but what is the nhtsa please?.
My Son has a 2007 RX8 Kuro, when he was driving it the other day, the clutch pedal clicked and then it didn't come right back up. The car still drives and the gears change although he said its a little bit harder to put it in 1st and reverse. Do you think this would come under the 'recall'? Any ideas what has happened please?
Thanks so much

I wish I would've seen this thread sooner when my clutch started clicking.
Would it be worth it to just get a new clutch pedal and then the bracket? or should i simply just take it out, then take it to a welder and get it fixed that way?
Also I don't know where to buy the bracket? I keep searching for it online and can't find it. Went to BHR and didn't see it there and typing in Fluid gets me well fluids...
But I appreciate everyone's insight!

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. if you start typing it in it should take you there. And i'm looking it up myself for my own Rx8 but It just keeps loading the recalls. Mine is a 2004 so i'm not sure if it still counts. 2007 still fits the 8 year mark though i believe.

I do not offer a bracket;

Question, is another symptom of a broken pedal it going straight to the floorboard? My pedal is close to my brake, and I can't engage the clutch at all. I changed out my slave cylinder thinking that was the issue, but it was not. So after a new slave and clutch I still have to clutch pressure. Sorry if I missed any post talking about this.

remove the clutch pedal and look if its broken. if so straighten it out and weld it. its easier and cheaper than a bracket and takes no time at all. the factory spot welds are a joke
#118
As far as the plunger goes... mine would not engage to allow me to crank the car so, i took some 1/4" plexi-glass and carved out the perfect circle to fit to the pedal's side and used some epoxy glue to hold it in place. It works beautifully, rather than bending the metal and pulling the plunger out too far. Just another idea.

What are those called? Mine broke apart and I cant find any of the plastics anywhere
