05 MR 700 miles Clutch broken

I was out for a sunday drive last weekend and during a shift the clutch pedal dropped to the floor. Fortunatly I ended up in neutral and coasted to the only phone for miles near the San Gregorio post office. Called CSAA for a tow, but there was no flatbeds available and ended up waiting for 6 hours before they got me(I did not have my emergency roar service card yet). Took it in for repair, from what the service manager has said It was a manufacturing defect and the pressure plate came apart. Hope to get the bad part or pictures monday.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I drive all my cars like they are meant to be driven. I've had nothing but fun since getting my Evo.

I now have 3200 miles.

Hopefully Mitsu will remedy the situation in a satisfactory manner.
