so the bracket for the clutch pedal does not want to stay in place. when i press in the pedal the whole bracket moves causing the clutch pedal to be useless. i can not shift anymore because the clutch is not being depressed. also i keep on breaking my turn signal relay because the bracket keeps moving. How did you guys secure the clutch pedal bracket. right now the only thing keeping the clutch pedal in place is the two bolts connected to the master cylinder. Help plz!!

Some people have welded in a plate that the factory 5 spd gets. It really shouldn't be moving enough to break things and be useless, I mean mine flexes too but not that much. I think it may have broken, when mine broke the pedal was useless.

yeah. your pedal snapped. same thing happened to me last fall. you need to weld it back together. Then you need to secure it at the top. there is diagram somewhere. I'll see if i can find it.

Same thing happened to my clutch. I had to order a whole new clutch pedal assembly

If you want a quick and reliable solution just zip tip your clutch pedal where the switch is to the brake pedal assembly which will allow the clutch pedal to be pressed without the clutch bracket moving and the clutch being useless.

It split next to the bolt

I did because I refuse to weld it back together. I paid 80 shipped for it all brand new.

Link Please!

I went through my friends at oemacuraparts.com and i bought a 7th gen assembly bc I'm 6spd.

The 6thgen pedal may cost more, not sure

I bought the 7th gen I4 pedal which may be the same as 6th gen one
