Clutch Masters 10-13 Mazda Mazda3 2.5L FX500 6-Puck Clutch Kit

Clutch Masters is well-known for making strong clutch components that can handle more power and abuse than stock. This FX500 6-puck clutch kit is a prime example, built for your 2010-2013 Mazda Mazda3 with the 2.5L engine. If you're looking to upgrade your drivetrain to handle more spirited driving or even some track time, this kit is designed to give you a solid connection between your engine and transmission.

The FX500 series uses a 6-puck rigid hub disc. This type of disc offers a very direct engagement and is built to hold significantly more torque than a stock clutch. It's a popular choice for drivers who have modified their engines for more power or who simply want a more aggressive clutch feel. The kit includes a high-performance pressure plate, the 6-puck disc, and a release bearing, giving you the essential pieces for a clutch replacement. Keep in mind that a rigid hub clutch like this will have a more abrupt engagement than a stock clutch, so it takes a little getting used to, especially in stop-and-go traffic. It's a trade-off for the increased holding capacity and performance.

When installing this kit, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any damage or glazing. If your flywheel is worn or warped, it's best to have it resurfaced or replaced to ensure proper clutch operation and longevity. This kit is a substantial upgrade for your Mazda3's drivetrain, offering a robust solution for increased performance demands.
