Product Details

The SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit for your 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege features a sprung hub clutch disc with a high-performance friction material. This setup is designed to handle increased power and torque, making it a solid choice if you're looking to upgrade your drivetrain for more spirited driving or track use. The sprung hub design helps absorb drivetrain shock, providing a smoother engagement than a solid hub disc, which is important for daily drivability.

This kit includes the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement: a heavy-duty pressure plate, the performance clutch disc, and a new release bearing. The pressure plate offers increased clamping force over the stock unit, ensuring positive engagement and preventing clutch slip under load. SPEC is known for well-built clutch components, and this Stage 2 kit is a popular option for Mazdaspeed Protege owners who need a clutch that can keep up with modifications. It's important to note that a clutch upgrade like this often pairs well with other drivetrain enhancements, and you may need to consider resurfacing or replacing your flywheel during installation.

When installing this clutch kit, it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's specific instructions. Proper break-in procedures are also crucial for the longevity and performance of the new clutch disc. Ensure your flywheel is in good condition, as a worn or damaged flywheel can negatively impact the new clutch's performance and lifespan. This kit is a direct replacement for your factory clutch, simplifying the installation process.
