Clutch Masters 04-07 Mazda Mazda3 2.3L Duratec / 06-07 Mazda Mazda5 2.3L Duratec FX500 Clutch Kit

The Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit features a sprung, multi-plate design with a 500 ft-lb torque capacity, making it a solid choice for your 2004-2011 Mazda 3 2.3L Duratec or 2006-2010 Mazda 5 2.3L Duratec. This kit is built to handle more power than the stock clutch, offering improved engagement and a more direct feel when you shift gears. The sprung hub design helps absorb some of the shock and vibration, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience, especially with a performance clutch setup.

Inside this kit, you'll find a performance pressure plate that works with the multi-plate clutch disc. The FX500 disc uses a unique sprung hub design to manage the increased torque capacity while maintaining drivability. Clutch Masters is known for making well-built clutch components, and this kit is no exception. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your factory clutch, simplifying the installation process. This means you won't need to modify your flywheel or make other significant changes to get it installed, assuming your flywheel is in good condition.

When you're replacing your clutch, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear, glazing, or warping. If it's not in good condition, you'll want to have it resurfaced or replaced to ensure the new clutch performs optimally and lasts as long as possible. This kit is a significant upgrade for drivers looking for a clutch that can handle more power and offer a more responsive feel. It's a popular choice for those who have modified their engines or simply want a more robust clutch system.
