Description of the problem	The clutch pedal assembly on 2004 mazda rx-8 has spot welds that hold the assembly together. One of the spot welds failed on my car, causing lateral movement in the pedal, and metal fatigue (ripping) around one of the mounting bolts. The clutch movement was also affected. Pushing the pedal down, it was loose about half of the normal movement of the pedal. Only the second half of pedal movement operated the clutch separation. It appeared that over time the mounting bracket of the clutch pedal assembly would have completely failed causing the clutch pedal to come off of the firewall. Doing a internet search on "rx8 clutch pedal" revealed many other times of this happening and mazda not doing anything about it. I have reported my instance to mazda's customer support.
