Cant see other Wifi Clients.

In the First post i had mentioned that it is enabled.

Then I guess it's broken. Blame FreeBSD for listing a broken implementation in their HCL.
-
All my working configs use Atheros.. I wouldn't waste my time trying to use a usb wifi interface. Especially RALink from the looks of the forum.
Part of your problem looks to be related to the bridge. You do lose some capabilities when using a bridge interface I have found.
-
wel mine is a internal card.

I don't apply the "pfil" patch in any recent configurations and i am not sure its needed anymore. I know there are inherent issues with bridging interfaces. You lose the granularity of port control for one and i know for RRD you lose stats for the individual interfaces, which is fine for a bridge. But i could also see this having other issues like you are experiencing. If you build a non-bridged AP is it still an issue? Could it be a rule not being properly applied on the correct interface. Things to check.. I usually turn off NAT/firewall until i get mine tuned.
Good Luck -
Have you tried disabling the firewall temporary(for testing) under System>Advanced>Firewall/NAT>Disable Firewall
Break the problem down to the simplest parts.
It sounds like you had the RALink card going for 6 months so I seriously doubt it is a hardware issue. Probably a bad setting somewhere.
You don't mention what your clients machines OS are and if Windows you obviously have more to troubleshoot.

I have had this problem since i installed the card. which has been about 6 months. Ill try disabling the firewall to see if it works. Well before with a normal AP before it died everything was fine, and its a mix of windows 7,8 and android. And i dont think its windows because when they are wired to the network they work fine.

Have you tried turning off the bridge and seeing if the wireless clients can communicate with the bridge off?
I have a pfSense system with an Atheros card and had a lot of problems getting both the bridge AND the inter-client communications to work some years ago. Since then I've disabled the internal Atheros card. These days I've found that the solution in the pfSense manual works best - using the LAN side of a commercial hardware AP.
-
+1, the bridge is just pointless and really bad idea in general.

In the past there have been bugs relating to Wifi encryption. (WPA-Supplicant)
When i say break it down to just essentials I mean no encryption. Just the bare basics.
Just for testing of course.
