Clutch Pedal alignment Probelm

[Bomorgan123]

Hello all, I’m hoping someone can lend some knowledge.

My clutch pedal keeps pulling over to the left, out of alignment and making contact with another component in the clutch pedal assembly. This prevents me from pressing the pedal all the way to the floor which as you can imagine, is very unsafe.

The issue started today out of nowhere. I’m definitely not comfortable driving the car in it’s curreny state.

My question is this: What exactly keeps the clutch pedal aligned and centered? If someone is willing to be a good samaratin and check out their car, I would greatly appreciate it.

TLDR: clutch pedal aligned to the the left. Attempting to depress/disengage clutch is met with resistance.

Is the clutch pedal bar moved to the left? If it is just the pedal cover, it looks like it is just a rubber cover that goes over the end of the clutch pedal bar. Take the cover off to be safe, but you can get a replacement or upgrade all the pedal covers.

Sorry. I should have been more clear. It is the entire pedal bar. This should help:

That is messed up. There is a clutch pedal/brake pedal assembly made of plastic bolted under the dash. It looks like this.

It would be quicker and more to the point if you looked under your dash. You should see something blatantly wrong, loose, missing or broken.

Yep, something is definitely broken and not keeping the clutch pedal lever aligned.

That pedal assembly on eBay looks strange ... the clutch assist spring doesn't look like the ones I've seen.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually crawled under the dash and took a look. I didn’t see anything too out of whack, so I was hoping someone could figure out what keeps their pedal aligned. I took the spring out which makes it a bit easier to drive until I figure this out. May just purchase a new assembley as opposed to paying a dealership to troubleshoot for 3 hours.

The red arrow points to the clutch pedal metal pivot shaft. The plastic hole that it goes into probably broke and is causing the metal pivot shaft to move around.
