I read in the local paper that there had been 14 clutch bracket failures on toyota t100 pickups. I had this occur on my pickup. The bracket failed gradually over time until I though the clutch had gone out. I took it to the dealer and they identified the failed bracket as the root cause. I had to pay for the repair.

First the clutch pedal bracket bolt fell out whle stopping at an intersection. After pushing the vehicle across three lanes of traffic I put the bolt back in and proceeded to my destination. The clutch did not seem to work correctly thereafter. I took it to an independent toyota maintenance shop and had they adjusted the clutch pedal. Things appeared to work ok after that for about a month. Then the bolt started backing out again, so I observed the lock washer was no longer functioning as designed and replaced the lock washer. Things seemed ok for about another month, and then I heard popping and squeaking when I depressed the clutch pedal. On further inspection, I found the clutch pedal bracket to be cracked at the firewall. Toyota customer service refuses to admit they have a safety design problem and have no service bulletins on the issue.
