About this part

Product Details

The sprung hub design in the SPEC Stage 3+ clutch disc for your 2014-2017 Mazda 3 (2.0L or 2.5L) is a key feature, helping to absorb drivetrain shock and reduce chatter, especially important when you're looking for a clutch that can handle more power and aggressive driving. This isn't just a basic replacement; it's a significant upgrade designed for drivers who demand more from their vehicle's drivetrain.

This Stage 3+ kit is built around a high-performance pressure plate that offers a firmer pedal feel and increased clamping force compared to stock. Paired with the sprung hub, multi-plate disc, it's engineered to hold significantly more torque, making it a solid choice for modified engines or those who frequently engage in spirited driving. The kit also includes a new release bearing, ensuring you have all the necessary components for a complete clutch replacement. SPEC has a reputation for well-built clutch components, and this kit reflects that commitment to performance and durability for demanding applications.

When installing a clutch kit like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for any signs of wear or damage. If the flywheel is warped or has deep grooves, resurfacing or replacing it will be crucial for proper clutch engagement and longevity. This SPEC clutch kit is designed to be a direct replacement for your factory unit, simplifying the installation process for a mechanic. You'll notice a more direct connection to the engine and a clutch that can reliably transfer power under demanding conditions.
