Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 1996 Toyota T100

Clutch pedal bracket cracked, causing the clutch pedal to collapse to the floor and be inoperable.

Could not shift into 1st, 2nd, 5th, reverse. Replaced cracked clutch pedal bracket and repaired cracks in firewall where bracket attaches. Problem appears to be fixxed.

While traveling, noticed gears were hard to shift. Consumer was unable to shift. Dealer has serviced vehicle at consumer's cost. Dealer replaced clutch pedal bracket. Two days after the clutch was fixed there was a loud snap when the pedal was depressed. It was found that the clutch pedal was defective. It was replaced at consumers expense and the squeak noise returned.

First the clutch pedal bracket bolt fell out whle stopping at an intersection. After pushing the vehicle across three lanes of traffic I put the bolt back in and proceeded to my destination. The clutch did not seem to work correctly thereafter. I took it to an independent Toyota maintenance shop and had they adjusted the clutch pedal. Things appeared to work ok after that for about a month. Then the bolt started backing out again, so I observed the lock washer was no longer functioning as designed and replaced the lock washer. Things seemed ok for about another month, and then I heard popping and squeaking when I depressed the clutch pedal. On further inspection, I found the clutch pedal bracket to be cracked at the firewall. Toyota customer service refuses to admit they have a safety design problem and have no service bulletins on the issue.

Clutch pedal assembly bolted through firewall. Firewall broken w/clutch pedal assembly.

Clutch pedal bracket assembly cracked and flexing which resulted in clutch not engaging and disengaging. Problem was not evident until it the clutch was disfunctional. Failed as I was making a left hand turn in an intersection and if not for the quick thinking of the other drivers may have cause an accident.

Clutch pedal bracket can crack, then break, causing failure of clutch pedal. Steering bracket bent, dealer replaced bracket and installed new bolt. Vehicle would not start at times due to a faulty starter assembly.

Starter malfunctioned, causing a fire. Also the clutch pedal bracket broke in three pieces which prevented the vehicle from going into gear. This could have caused a crash. Please provide further information.

Transmission wore out at 28000 miles repair to firewall was made at 57000 miles when clutch failed to disengage bracket for pedal completely failed at 110000 seat belt was replaced once and it continues to get caught in door because of weak retractor.

Defective clutch bracket broke, causing the occupant not being able to shift into different gears which may resultin vehicle stalling and a crash. Manufacturer came out with a new design clutch bracket. Please provide further information.

Bolt that holds clutch pedal assembly fell out, could not shift and when engine turned off, unable to re-start.

When placing the clutch in gear consumer noticed there is vibration in the front end. Also when the clutch is placed in gear and upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle is at a death stop rpm race. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer stated the clutch burned out and need replacement. Please provide any further details.
