Clutch Masters 07-10 MazdaSPEED3 / 05-07 MazdaSPEED6 FX300 Segmented Kevlar Steel Back Alum Flywheel

This Clutch Masters FX300 flywheel features a segmented Kevlar disc with a steel backplate, specifically designed for the Mazdaspeed 3 and Mazdaspeed 6. The segmented design helps manage heat and provides a more predictable engagement compared to a solid disc, especially under demanding use. This setup is built to handle the higher torque output of these performance models, offering a solid option for drivers looking to upgrade their clutch system.

The flywheel itself is constructed from aluminum, which is notably lighter than a traditional steel flywheel. This weight reduction means less rotational mass for the engine to spin, potentially leading to quicker engine response and acceleration. The steel backplate on the clutch disc adds durability and helps protect the Kevlar material during engagement. This combination of materials and design aims to provide a balance of performance, durability, and a manageable pedal feel for daily driving, while still being capable of handling spirited driving and track use.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's specific instructions for proper break-in and alignment. This flywheel is designed as a direct replacement for the stock unit, but it's always a good idea to inspect your clutch fork, pilot bearing, and throw-out bearing for wear while the transmission is out. Ensuring these other components are in good condition will help guarantee the longevity and performance of your new clutch system.
