    The actuall bracket broke?? Or just the cable. I've snapped like 2 or 3 clutch cables and it feels like the pedal is dead. It's possible you just broke the cable unless your pedal isn't attached anymore. Got pics?

    No need to quote pics that were in the post directly above yours, its a waste of bandwidth.

    Have a search, there is a thread with pics of how someone strengthen theirs

    haha! thanks. its hard to find a part from junk yard. theres only 2 of them in there and both have broken brackets. i took one from a 1990 CRX it looks perfect besides the clutch pedal pivot are mor elevated than the wagon's. i just have to bare with it till i get a new one.

    I just bought my old wagon from the guy I sold it too back about 6 months ago. I am pretty sure the clutch pedal is broken. I literally bought it on my lunch so I havent got to take a look at it yet. So if it is broke I get journey on this adventure this weekend as well. fun fun...

    i think i found out the best way to do it...
    1.take the fuse cover or shin cover.
    2.take the metal plating that holds the fuse cover.
    3.take the fuse box out.
    4. un-bolt the steering wheel column.
    5.un-bolth the pedal bracket.
    6. unhook the brake pedals from the brake booster.
    7. go under your hood and pull the brake booster out just enough to clear the pedal.
    8. un hook the clutch cable and throtle cable under the hood.
    9. pull the pedal bracket just enough to stretch the cables insie.
    10 un hook the gas and clutch cables from the pedals.
    11. do a dance. you did the hardest thing to fix in your wagon. lol.

    Yep I did this last night and welded it up. It was cracked on both sides. I think we pulled it out welded it up and reinstalled it in about 3 hours. Finally feels like a real clutch again. And I guarantee that sucker wont break again!

    common problem with wagons. or mine at least.

    i've broken 2. in 2 different spots. I used a CRX one for awhile, it worked, but pedals where slightly off where they should be. now i rock a super reinforced pedal box haha. i've also gone through 2 clutch cables. i'm thinking i've got a freak of a clutch that is uber stiff. i've had it for about 5 years and it's never slipped or acted up. i do a lot of hill starts too... alot.

    the best thing to do is if u dont want it to keep breaking and keep welding... get a RT one, thats what i have in mines to save my breath... there built way better with reinforcement... i think honda knew it kept breaking so the RT got a better deal...

    In January '10, my '90 2wd DX wouldn't shift cause the bracket was cracked. Honda had a new bracket for that one.
    A month later, I discovered the bracket on my '88 4WD was broken. The 4WD pedal bracket has been discontinued by Honda, so I had to pull out the old one and get it welded.
