| Description of the problem | Firewall spot welds broke, resulting in movement of the brake pedal assembly and clutch assembly. This is causing the clutch to not disengage fully and also making it very difficult to shift due to the flex. As this has the potential to be dangerous and is most definitely a manufacturing defect, it should be subject to a recall. |
