I'm not that familiar with the relevant details on a Syncro but while
a helper depresses clutch pedal, watch slave and bracket to ensure
that clutch operating arm travel is normal and that the bracket isn't
flexing or moving. I doubt the bracket is broken though. In lieu of a
helper, a camera could be positioned to record video while you depress
clutch pedal.
