OS Giken Mazda RX8 13B-MSP R Series Triple Plate w/Floating Center Hub Clutch

If you're pushing your 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 hard, especially with engine modifications or track use, you're likely looking for a clutch that can handle the increased power and torque. The OS Giken R Series Triple Plate Clutch is built for those demanding situations. It replaces your stock clutch with a much more robust setup designed to transfer power reliably without slipping, even under extreme conditions.

This clutch uses three friction plates, which significantly increases the surface area compared to a single or dual plate setup. More surface area means more grip and better heat dissipation, crucial for preventing clutch fade during spirited driving or repeated launches. The floating center hub design is a key feature that helps to reduce drivetrain shock and allows for smoother engagement than you might expect from a multi-plate clutch. OS Giken is known for its well-built performance components, and this clutch is no exception, utilizing high-grade materials throughout its construction to ensure durability and consistent performance.

Installing a triple plate clutch is a significant undertaking, and it's important to ensure you have all the necessary supporting components. This clutch is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, but you'll want to consult the OS Giken installation manual for specific procedures and any recommended accompanying parts. The result of a proper installation is a clutch that feels solid and responsive, ready to put the power down effectively.
