My stiff clutch problem may be related to a crack in the firewall
..I have my car in a shop and my mechanic is puzzled on how to repair...The problem is whole assembly is moving..(when you press on the clutch ...the brake pedal moves too.)


My mechanic thinks he needs to weld a plate to reinforce the firewall...


When pressure is applied to the clutch...you can see the firewall flex and there is a visible crack...

any advise please.

This is supposed to be relatively common on the Mantas. In the past I've heard Charles Goin talk of this issue a fair amount but I don't know what he's done to repair it. You may want to contact him...
