Hey there, thank you for your effort. I have the same issue I tried all steps besides welding/reinforcing the pedal.. Its impossible to find a new OEM clutch pedal in germany… 😢 Cheers
Hey, so I tried this yesterday. I got the pedal out of the car and saw it were the bearings that make it squeak. Fortunetaly, I have a workshop here in Germany that welded the pedal for me. However, swapping out the master cylinder wasn't that easy. I have the NCFL, and over the cylinder lays the sound tube of the sound enhancer that has to be disassembled first. You can try to bend it a bit, though, which could be enough space. Secondly, the brake line wasn't going off, as the nut was old and rusty. Also, my new cylinder - not an original Mazda Part - missed a seal to put against the fire wall. So after all, I just put the paddle back in and it all works fine now, as I swapped out the bearings connected to the spring myself. The squeak is gone, and that's enough for me for now :D
@@running2redline The sound enhancer was introduced with the Facelift version (NC2. So no surprise your's didn't have it :) Not a country thing I guess.
Awesome video man, Im hopeful this is the same squeak I’m hearing. I won’t be able to weld that section back myself unfortunately. is there any other way of doing it? Because I can see mines loose even with the pedal still In the car. Thank you!
I think the metal may be too thin to try anything else, especially a solution that will hold up. If you can’t weld it yourself, I would suggest removing it from the car and taking it somewhere. Almost any shop that has welding capabilities can knock that out in 5 or so minutes, and likely wouldn’t charge much at all. The peace of mind of having that done will likely be worth it though, this was an issue I wanted to fix once and never think about again. I will say the only difficulty is that you’ll be asking someone to weld aluminum which can be a pain. Good luck and I hope it works out for you, thanks for watching!
@@running2redline Thanks for the reply! Yeah I’m much the same I’d rather do something once and don’t properly than have to go back over something twice. I appreciate your time and I’m loving the NC content you’re putting out, keep it up!

I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I hope the welding will make it an issue I never have to touch again. Good luck finding one
@@running2redline Dude I found one last night and ordered it immediately!! :-)
Stay safe
That's great news! Good luck building it up.@@Freshmattik
Wo hast du deins gefunden? Könnte sein, dass ich auch demnächst drauf angewiesen bin :D

So, to make that more clear, I didn't swap out the cylinder at all. Still works.
Interesting the difference in the cars based on country. Glad you got it worked out, those bearings make a ton of noise!

Do you have a link or info on the bearings you used! Thank you!

That should be it!
how do you remove the clutch pedal? I cant get the top left nut out.
There’s three nuts. The top left is a major pain and took my a deep well socket, swivel, and extension to get out
Thank you.
