My 2004 RX8 clutch failed tonight with only 29,000 miles.
Dang!! The pedal went right to the floor and stayed there.
Apparently the large diaphragm spring went over center.
The clutch became permanently dis-engaged. I could not move
the car.

I'll have it towed to the dealer on Monday or Tuesday.

I was disappointed to see the Mazda engineers did not use my
annular hydraulic throw out cylinder invention :)

Its still got the old fashion out side slave cylinder
and lever arrangement.
