I assume you're talking about the clutch pedal.

Your problem sounds like clutch hydraulics. It's either the master or slave cylinder failing, or a bad hose.

Best bet is to replace all three parts. Costs about $100 and takes an hour or so.

Did you use all new hydraulics? Did you properly bleed the system after installing them? It is either failed master/slave/hose, or air in the system, if they were not all new parts my money is on failed hydraulics.

In my experience, finding RX-7 parts at retail stores is nearly impossible. A good first stop for most factory parts is MazdaTrix.

Any auto parts store will have the master, slave and hose. It may take a day for them to arrive, but I've never had an issue buying these parts at any regular auto parts store.
