RotaSpinna69---I would say your problem is the master cyclinder, but for fun I recommend changing the SLAVE first since its cheap, then the master. On thing I would say about sports cars (dont sit at stop lights with the clutch in *FREE ADVICE)

lol i started pulling my tranny last night, spent about an 30 minutes on it. i figure about an hour more and it will be out. but its a total bitch. i found that if you jam a big *** screw driver through the ppf and the u-joint in the driveshaft it will help you get the bolts off.

i had the e-brake one so the axle wouldn't move and even with a 2 foot breaker bar on the ratchet, they still didn't wanna go. i'm gonna try some wd-40 tonight and see where it gets me

As of this morning I think my clutch fork broke too. Everything fine and then all of a sudden stiffness at the bottom of the pedal travel and slight vibration and grinding from the throwout bearing. Sheesh. 2 weeks til race season; guess I gotta fix it.

DamonB,
same thing as me. just all of a sudden it felt funny. i got the bearing last night and will be reassembling my car tonight when i get home from work. When i called malloy earlier this week he had lots of TO bearings. and i believe he should have some more clutch forks by now.

Thanks, John. I just ordered all my parts from Mazda Motorsports. I got the clutch fork and release bearing for $105. I'll also do the wedge collar and wire ring (just in case) and all the shifter bushings while I am in there.
When I put the new motor in I went ahead and put in a new clutch disc even though the other one wasn't worn much. Guess I should have put a clutch fork in it too
