Description of the problem | I was driving my 2004 mazda rx 8 home from work when all of a sudden my clutch pedal dropped and my car would not switch gears, luckily i coasted across the intersection. I had my car towed to a mazda dealership, they told me my entire clutch assembly was destroyed to nothing and my clutch pedal was bent, due to broken bracket on clutch pedal. My extended warranty would not cover the cost, even though it was due to a part that wasn't a wear and tear part. Total cost is $1490. |
