Clutch pedal bracket failure. Bracket is completely broken at firewall and cracked on the side. Can not shift into gear. Dealer unable to say if they can get replacement part.
The firewall on my 1996 Toyota T100 has cracked where the master clutch cylinder attaches. I am unable to get the truck into gear. Approximately 80,000 miles. Many other people have reported this problem as well yet Toyota refuses to accept responsibility.
I read in the local paper that there had been 14 clutch bracket failures on Toyota T100 pickups. I had this occur on my pickup. The bracket failed gradually over time until I though the clutch had gone out. I took it to the dealer and they identified the failed bracket as the root cause. I had to pay for the repair.

Bracket broke resulting in clutch being inoperable. The bracket was welded by the local Toyota dealer and replaced. It broke again on 5/10/2001 at 95364 miles with the same result. This time it was taken to a different Toyota dealer and they replaced the part. Contacted Toyota customer service and they said they are unaware of any recall for this part.
The mounting of the clutch master cylinder to the firewall shows signs of cracking at the mounting holes. The fire wall itself flexes when the clutch pedal is depressed. Possibly causing premature wearout of the clutch assembly
