Description of the problem	My clutch pedal began clicking and creaking this summer. I finally found out that the welds that held the clutch to the firewall were broken. The clutch bracket has only a couple of spot welds that attach it to the firewall, and the firewall is very flimsy. The welds tore away and allowed the firewall, clutch assembly,. Brake assembly, and dash to move and shift whenever i clutched in, causing premature clutch failure and a very dangerous driving condition. This has happened to many gr/gv chassis. This is a known issue and subaru needs to institute a recall about this dangerous issue.
