Clutch Pedal/linkage Problems of Mazda B3000

Consumer states that the clutch catches too quickly when gears are shifted and there is a loud clunk that can be felt and heard throughout the truck, consumer states it is metal hitting metal. Vehicle pulls to the right. Motor is missing and has no power. Drivers door flies open after going over bumps. Dealer refused to do anything about any of the problems and is stating that everything is normal. A service technician stated that it sounded like the clutch was not catching until the last minute, the jarring was the transmission after shifting and decelerating out of adjustment.

The problem I experienced with my vehicle was sporadic. The clutch pedal would not depress and I was unable to get my vehicle into any gear. It did not matter how fast I was going or what gear I was shifting to. In order to get my vehicle into gear I had to shut the engine off, then shift into gear and restart the engine. This happened to me in traffic and on the highway. When this occurred I was unable to move my vehicle and was afraid that another vehicle would hit me. My vehicle has since been repaired per service bulletin 002/98 but I feel that due to the potential danger that a recall should be considered. Thank you.
