OS Giken Mazda RX8 13B-MSP TS Series Twin Plate Clutch - Requires MZ121-BC30M

The TS Series twin plate clutch from OS Giken uses a unique sprung center hub design, a notable choice for the high-revving 13B-MSP Renesis engine found in the 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8. This design helps absorb driveline shock, which is crucial for maintaining smooth engagement and protecting your transmission, especially when you're pushing the engine hard. OS Giken is well-known for its robust clutch systems, and this twin plate setup is built to handle significantly more power and torque than the stock clutch, making it a solid option for modified RX-8s or those looking for a more direct and responsive feel.

Constructed with durable friction materials and a strong pressure plate, this clutch is designed for longevity and consistent performance. The twin plate design offers a larger friction surface area compared to a single plate clutch, which helps dissipate heat more effectively. This means less chance of clutch fade during spirited driving or track use. While it requires a specific release bearing kit (part number MZ121-BC30M) for installation, this setup ensures proper function and engagement with the twin plate configuration. Expect a firmer pedal feel and a more immediate clutch engagement compared to the factory unit, which translates to crisper shifts and better power transfer.

When installing this clutch, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, especially regarding the release bearing kit and any necessary flywheel modifications or checks. This OS Giken twin plate clutch is a significant upgrade for RX-8 owners seeking enhanced drivetrain performance and reliability under demanding conditions. It's a well-built component designed to match the unique characteristics of the Renesis rotary engine.
