question on clutch pedal warranty
im taking my 04 tomorrow morning for a compression test to mazda. I was thinking when im there i might have them replace the clutch pedal depending on the price (81k on it)Its starting to have the infamous squeek when its pressed. I know my extended warrenty for the pedal expired but if i get another from mazda will the warrenty carry over for another 8 years?

You don't get another warranty. It's just from the original sale date of the car.
Have them identify the reason for the squeak. There are at least three possible causes.

mine was squeaky but only because the bushings on the spring rotted and fell off, greasing up the spring fixed the problem. there was no cracks so i felt no need to take it out and weld it up.
the switches can also cause a similar noise, and of course the cracked bracket.

do not buy any bs bracket or bother getting a new one from mazda because its the same shitty part. take the one you have off and weld it. problem solved

That's what I did when mine squeaked. It was one of the bushings, and the fix was to replace the bracket, since the bushings are pretty much built in. Had it been the cut switch, that can be replaced by itself, or just removed.
IMHO, if you think a mechanic is competent to work on your car, it's best to give him symptoms rather than diagnosis.

The dealer will not take action unless they see a tear or break on the bracket, a squeak isn't sufficient for a replacement. $89 for a reinforcement bracket, how much is it to find a shop and pay that will weld it together and how long will it last before it breaks again?
If the neutral safety switch is not working, it could be the plunger which needs to be extended. It's serated and have to be disconnected and removed from the bracket for you to extend it. Otherwise, you can remove the switch and competely close the circuit which will now allow you to start the car without depressing the clutch pedal.
