Description of the problem	It was approximately 11:15 in the night, i was on my way back from a late night food run at mcdonald's. The distance from my residence to mcdonald's is approximately 2. 2 miles. As i approached a stop sign, one (1) block away from my residence, i depressed my clutch pedal in order to come to a complete stop, and that is when i heard a loud clattery clang. Immediately after, the clutch pedal felt extremely soft and i found it very hard to change gears. Being that i was so close to home i didn't have time to further examine and evaluate what exactly had happened. Hence, i ignored it parked my car and went inside. The next morning on my regular routine i started my car to go to school, again the clutch felt extremely soft and mushy. Tried to put the gears in reverse but failed. This is when i finally realized that something was definitely wrong. My first inclination was that the clutch disc that had worn, but after further investigation i found that the clutch pedal bracket had broken.
