Genuine Mazda Brake / Clutch Pedal Rubber Pad • D350-43-028

Genuine Mazda D350-43-028 Brake / Clutch Pedal Rubber Pad

Replacement Genuine Mazda rubber brake or clutch pedal pad for Mazda MX-5 Mk3, Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 NC models with manual transmission.

The moulded rubber pad stretches over the metal pedal plate and provides a textured, high-grip contact surface beneath the driver’s shoe. The same component is used on both the brake and clutch pedals.

Repeated pedal use can wear down the raised tread, polish the rubber surface or cause the pad to split around its edges. A loose, damaged or missing pad may reduce grip, expose the metal pedal plate and make pedal operation less secure, particularly when footwear is wet.

Two identical pads are fitted to each manual-transmission vehicle: one on the brake pedal and one on the clutch pedal. This listing supplies one Genuine Mazda pad, so select a quantity of two when replacing both.

Fitment restriction: This pad is for manual-transmission vehicles. It does not replace the wider brake-pedal pad fitted to automatic-transmission models.

Typical reasons for replacement:

• Raised tread worn smooth
• Rubber split or torn around the edge
• Pad loose on the metal pedal plate
• Rubber hardened or deteriorated with age
• Original pad missing
• Metal pedal surface becoming exposed
• Reduced grip beneath wet footwear
• Interior or pedal-box refurbishment

Fitment advice: The same pad fits the brake and clutch pedals on manual-transmission MX-5 NC models. A manual vehicle uses two pads in total. Automatic vehicles use a different brake-pedal shape and are not compatible with this pad.

Replacement advice: Inspect both manual pedal pads before ordering. If one is heavily worn, the other is often in similar condition. Replacing them as a pair provides consistent pedal grip and appearance.

Other items to consider: Inspect the pedal arms, pedal pivot bushes, clutch pedal mechanism, brake-light switch, clutch switches and pedal return springs. Excessive pedal movement or noise will not normally be corrected by replacing the rubber pad alone.

Useful tools / consumables: Plastic trim tool or blunt lever where required, warm water and a small amount of rubber-compatible fitting lubricant. Avoid petroleum-based products that may damage the rubber.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Easy. No pedal-box dismantling is normally required. The pad must simply be stretched evenly over the complete edge of the metal pedal plate.

Why Genuine Mazda? Genuine Mazda pedal pads are moulded to match the original pedal-plate dimensions, edge-retaining profile and tread pattern. Correct fit helps prevent the pad moving or detaching during brake or clutch operation.

What’s in the box: One Genuine Mazda brake or clutch pedal rubber pad, part number D350-43-028.

Installation notes: Remove the worn pad by peeling its retaining edge away from the metal pedal plate. Clean and dry the pedal thoroughly, removing dirt, grease and loose corrosion. Warm the replacement pad slightly in warm water if additional flexibility is required. Position one edge over the pedal plate, then stretch the remaining retaining lip evenly around the metal pedal. Confirm that the rubber edge is fully engaged on every side and pull firmly on the pad to ensure it cannot detach. Operate the pedal several times and confirm that the pad remains secure and does not interfere with the surrounding trim.
