Product Details

This is the SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch Kit specifically for the 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege. If you're looking to handle more power than the stock clutch can manage, especially after making performance modifications, this kit is designed to step up to the challenge. It's built to provide a solid connection between your engine and drivetrain, ensuring that power gets to the wheels efficiently.

The Stage 2+ kit from SPEC features a sprung, multi-plate design. This setup is engineered to handle significantly increased torque and horsepower, making it a popular choice for Mazdaspeed Protege owners who have upgraded their turbochargers, intake, and exhaust systems. The sprung hub helps to absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch, contributing to a smoother engagement than a solid hub might offer, while still maintaining a firm grip. This kit includes a high-performance pressure plate and a multi-plate clutch disc, all balanced as a unit for smooth operation at higher RPMs.

When installing a clutch kit like this, it's important to have all necessary supporting components ready. This includes a new pilot bearing and release bearing, which are often recommended to be replaced at the same time. Proper break-in is also crucial for the longevity and performance of the clutch; follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure to ensure the clutch surfaces mate correctly. This SPEC clutch kit is a well-built option for those pushing their Mazdaspeed Protege beyond its original limits.
