Hey everyone. I was leaving work yesterday and when I pushed in my
clutch there was a noise that sounded like plastic breaking.  I ignored
it thinking I just ran over something in the parking lot at the time
but when I got into my car this morning the clutch seemed to have a
little more slack in it and there was half of a black broke plastic
ring laying on the floor.  Does anyone know what this is or if I should
worry about it? My car only has like 18,000 miles on it so I shouldn't
be having clutch problems. Thanks for any help.

Sound like a clutch cable except for the black plastic ring on the
floor.  If it were that it's not nearly as bad as it sounds though it
needs quick attention... you should really take it in.

Except that the Focus doesn't have a clutch cable...

Most likely thing I can think of is the plastic bush the pedal pivots on has
broken up.
