Evo Clutch Pedal assembly
Did anybody ever change the pedal assembly on a 8 or 9? My clutch pedal assembly cage is split in half. The thin metal that holds it together has cracked at the weld point.

the same exact thing happened to my Evo 9, so I wanted to ask you did you ever get that fixed? because right now my evo is just sitting because I can't find anyone who can get under the dash and weld the metal bracket back together so my evo is useless! Some body please help ! Thanks
I've never taken a look at a Evo 8/9 specifically but I'm pretty sure it's not that hard. I've done it in both my galant vr4's,Evo 3 conversion and so forth. Are the pedal assemblies in the 8/9 independent from each other?

Yes they are independent from eachother, but it just seems like there is no room to work with down there unless you take off the whole bottom dash board, but some one on here said his 8/9 got fix without removing the dash so it is possible , the thing is finding the right person to do the job is the problem, you dont happen to live in Washington state do you brunoboy650?

I'm in the exact boat. I try to post pictures but it doesn't allow me. My guy is taking off the whole dash and welding a new piece to reinforce. Not only did the clutch pedal turn to twisted metal, but also the 1 of the 2 brackets up under the dash broke where it mounts. Horrible.

removing the pedal from the car is going to be your best bet and taking it to a shop to weld it back together had this happen in my rx8 a while back.
taking the peddle out is not very difficult just a tight spot.

Yea thsts what were going to have to do, take out the pedel first than weld the bracket back together, and i forgot to mention that this is the second pedal that I put on since I had to crack in the bracket First pedel was all twisted and broke just like you said and the second one I had on for 5 to 6 months and finally broke on me so hopefully I can find a mechanic soon that can get under there and while that bracket back together and then I will be buying another clutch pedal assembly

No. He just have to remove the pedal from the car. That take like 2 minute to remove. After that he can weld the asembly and the flange in the car. When i weld in the car i have to be carefull but i can do it without removing the dash. A good welder will do it no problem.
