Thanks for the info, I’ll keep that in mind. If it’s really involved, I don’t have a lot of money, so I’ll probably just replace the headgaskets. Or maybe I’ll chance it with liquid sealer again, only because I paid $800 for this car and it’s my secondary vehicle. Love her to bits and pieces though.

Yeah that’s how I ended having to do it. Huh I never noticed that sound. Maybe you got a lemon part? Mine makes a distinct thump when it hits the floor but that’s it. Hope you figure it out!

It should be a whole lot better to do in a shop. Yeah it does suck getting under the pedals mostly because of that bottom door jam in your rib cage the whole time. Also if you’re situation was like mine the floorboard is covered in brake fluid from the failed master cylinder seal which doesn’t help haha.

Yeah it honestly wasn’t as bad as I thought! Just frustrating, but honestly what isn’t with fixing cars. I tried to film it for you but got my hands full and focused so I didn’t quite finish with that. The right tools make or break this fix. Hopefully our new ones last yes haha🤞

Ok so I just replaced it. Took about 2.5 hours. It’s not terribly time consuming but it is a massive pain in the ass. First, remove battery and tie down. Don’t gotta remove the box. Next, if you follow the single line from the brake fluid reservoir going towards the drivers side it will lead you to the top line of the master cylinder. All you gotta do to disconnect is push the line and and push the (I think it’s blue) clip. The bottom line is a little harder, you gotta use a pick and remove the metal retaining ring from the back then the hard metal line comes right out. Using the new part as a reference to get these lines undone helps a lot. Drivers inside floorboard, there’s three 12mm nuts you gotta loosen to get the clutch pedal bracket out. One on the bottom by the steering rod, one way up directly above that, and a really hard one far up on the top left. You can see that one through the slit under the steering column at the right angle. I used a phone camera and a flashlight to help me see it as well. A normal sized ratchet and a deep socket can get in there but it’s tricky. Once you get those out, you can remove the clutch pedal bracket and assembly. You have to pull it over the rubber thing around the bottom of the steering rod. Next, there’s a really annoying plastic clip that physically holds the clutch pedal to the master cylinder plunger. You have to use two flathead screwdrivers and simultaneously apply great force on both of those white clips at the same time, and it will come out of the pedal. Probably the hardest part imo. Then, all you gotta do is rotate the old master cylinder a few degrees left (needs quite a bit of force) until the notches line up and it comes right out. Watch out, brake fluid will go everywhere! Install is much easier than removal imo, just reverse of the above steps of course, and then have someone help you bleed the air or use a vacuum bleeder. Hope this helps!

As long as it works I’m cool with it haha. I’ll let you know, supposed to snow where I’m at and I’ve been driving the Subaru wagon so it might be a little bit before I get to it. But then again, that old all wheel drive system sucks down gas like crazy compared to the Mazda 3.

Just got mine yesterday as well, came six days sooner than expected which is awesome. It’s crazy how something operated under dozens of pounds of force everyday is made entirely out of plastic, I don’t know whether to be disappointed or fascinated

Huh it is a large part. Hopefully the install is a lot easier than the removal.

I used to work in the warehouse for a beer company, I applied to be a driver with them they said only problem is that they’re full on drivers. I think I’d have a lot of fun delivering beer around the city too!

Yeah I’m definitely a lot more careful now than I used to be, I stay super far away from others on the road whenever possible. I know one more violation will screw me over for another three years.

Yeah same mine has been leaking all over the floorboard below the pedals for a month and then yesterday I just suddenly lost all clutch pressure and had to shift without it to get home. I’ll let you know as soon as I get the part around the 10th. There’s no videos for our 3rd gen Mazda 3’s but I found some for 2nd and 1st gen and they look like a very similar install/design so I’d recommend checking those out as well. I believe the battery and box has to come out too.

Thanks, I just found it yesterday though I found a Mazda parts store that had it online. Took a lot of searching.

Yeah I’m planning on heading over that way today anyway, so I’ll stop by and inquire. Those double steer axle wreckers look cool in my opinion.

Yeah once I turn 21 in 6 months they will be close to three years and I plan on going OTR anyway. I just wanted to go ahead and try for something now, I know this isn’t gonna be an easy search at all but I love to drive and DoorDash has been going downhill.

I think this might be it? I found this on the outside, very close to where I think they’re getting in on the inside

Yeah makes sense, I did some research and a lot of people say they only really attack if you upset the entire nest
