pics - improved replacement?? - clutch switch bump stop
Mazda (or whoever produces the OEM parts now) always seems to improve their stuff, especially those items that tend to wear out.
Looks like it's the case here. The original bump stop for the clutch switch was plastic bonded to rubber, and tended to splinter/shatter (see further below) after 150K miles. These replacements are all rubber I believe, and THICKER.

Started getting a "clicking sound" when releasing the clutch petal, turns out the clutch switch button was slipping into a hole where the switch's rubber bump stop use to be on the pedal neck. You can see below the remains of that bump stop.
Here's a before and after. If this happens to you, using a panel fastener (click me) temporarily would work until a permanent replacement arrives.
