    Default Clutch questions

    I need an opinion on the price and quality of the clutch kit shown below.

    Unless you plan on turbo'ing your car, a stock clutch will serve you fine (and for about 1/2 the price of that one). The OEM clutch I bought from Mazda had Exedy stamped on it.

    See this one -

    Mmmm... ebay. Home of overpriced, generic brand crap. :P

    As Sammm pointed out - unless there is forced induction in your future, I'd stick with the stock clutch. It has a proven history (and provenance, unlike some random ebay clutch), stands up to plenty of abuse, and it's cheap.

    Plus don't forget to order a rear main seal for the motor and front & rear seal for the transmission, as well as both boot turret seals.

    Sammm's clutch failed due to an oil leak!

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll stick with stock.

    I was considering this one also, but got mixed reviews when I e-mailed some of the people, about a dozen, that had won the auctions and had it installed. Resposes ranged from "it engages quickly, but I can live with it" to "How in the HELL does anyone drive with this clutch on the street." I only got one response back from someone that loved it, but their car was track only. You may want to watch for some people that win an auction, and ask their opinion.
