VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SHIFT LEVER IN FIRST GEAR, CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED AND CLUTCH BYPASS SWITCH ENGAGED. VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOT WHILE TURNING KEY NEARLY RAMMING INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF DISABLED VEHICLE. VISUAL INSPECTION OF CLUTCH PEDAL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY, TOYOTA P/N 107-34010, REVEALED TWO METAL FATIGUE CRACKS IN THE SUPPORT, ONE APPROXIMATELY ONE AND ONE HALF INCHES LONG AND THE OTHER APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF AN INCH LONG IN THE HEAT ZONE OF ONE SPOT WELDED AREA. THE LARGER OF THESE TWO CRACKS ALLOWS THE FIREWALL PORTION OF THE BRACKET TO MOVE IN (FLEX) TOWARDS THE FIREWALL WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED PREVENTING THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER PUSH ROD FROM FULLY DISENGAGING THE CLUTCH. THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER PUSH ROD HAS BEEN ADJUSTED (LENGHTEDED) AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE CRACKED BRACKET IS AVAILABLE, IF DESIRED. THANK YOU! *TR
