THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY/FIREWALL FRACTURED AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT THE MANUAL TRANS. THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE PLACED IN FIRST GEAR WITHOUT TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND TAKING ALL PRESSURE OFF OF THE DRIVETRAIN. IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNSHIFT GEARS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. I INFORMED TOYOTA OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY DENIED THERE HAD EVER BEEN A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY REDESIGNED A BACKING PLATE WHERE THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY ATTACHES TO THE FIREWALL. I HAVE INSTALLED THE BACKING PLATE BUT THE FIREWALL REMAINS CRACKED. DT

THE FAILURE OF THIS BRACKET (FRACTURED AT TOP LEFT CORNER) PREVENTED COMPLETE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE ENGINE FROM TRANSMISSION, MAKING STOPPING DIFFICULT, NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE, AS THE SAFETY START SWITCH CAN NO LONGER BE OPERATED BY DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. AS A TEMPORARY FIX, I HAD TO JUMP OUT THE SWITCH TO USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BE MADE. THE NEW BRACKET IS DIFFERENT IN DESIGN FROM THE ORIGINAL, INDICATING THAT TOYOTA RECOGNIZES THE FAULT WITH THE ORIGINAL UNIT. DT
WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO 5TH GEAR, THE CLUTCH BRACKET BROKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. *TS *JB

THE FIREWALL FLEXES WHEN I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL MAKING THE TRUCK DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. ADDITIONALLY, THE START SWITCH ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET DOESN'T ENGAGE WITH THE APPLICATION OF NORMAL PRESSURE TO THE CLUTCH PEDAL MAKING IT NECESSARY FOR ME TO REACH UNDER THE DASH TO START THE ENGINE. THIS IS HAZARDOUS, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES I OVERRIDE A SAFETY SWITCH MANUALLY IN ORDER TO START MY VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YEARS AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE A CLUTCH AND MASTER CYLINDER CAUSED BY THIS POORLY DESIGNED AND SUPPORTED CLUTCH PEDAL. MY FIREWALL ON THE ENGINE SIDE OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS CRACKED AND DOES NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT MY CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET.*AK
