I own an 04' RX8 with 104,000 miles on it. My clutch pedal produces a squeaky noise when pressed. It sounds as though it needs lubrication, however when I asked the dealer for their advice they informed me that there was no lubrication point for that specific problem. So I'm just learning to live with it. It actually shifts like a charm It's just the noise that gives me the impression that something is wearing at a faster rate. I guess I'll just wait until something wears out completely which would manifest itself in some other way. Other than that I really am suprised at the durability of my RX.

I actually just got back from getting an oil change on my car... I had noticed for a few weeeks that there was a squeaky noise in the clutch and i would not be able to shift unless it pressed the clutch all the way in. So now it turns out that it's broken and needs to be replaced ASAP... My RX-8 is an 04 with about 67k miles on it.

I have a 2004 RX-8 with 97,000 miles. The left side of my clutch bracket just broke. I am going to call the stealership tomorrow to ask about a recall (knowing there is not according to the NTSB). I have found a couple of after-market assemblies and will go that route unless Mazda wants to give me a free replacement.

My RX8 is over 4 1/2 years old and many shifts, including Auto-X and SCCA Track Days, and I have not noticed any bracket issues...but thanks. Never hurts to get a topic on the table.
