Spec 15-17 Mazda 3 2.0L / 15-17 Mazda 6 2.0L Stage 3+ Clutch Kit

The SPEC Stage 3+ clutch kit features a high-performance sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup. This kit is built for vehicles that see frequent track use or have significantly modified engines, offering a substantial increase in holding capacity over stock. It's designed to handle the demands of spirited driving and racing applications where consistent engagement and power transfer are critical.

This Stage 3+ kit includes a high-clamp load pressure plate and a multi-friction disc that utilizes a combination of materials for optimal engagement and durability under high stress. The sprung hub design is a key feature, providing a more comfortable pedal feel and reducing drivetrain shock compared to unsprung designs, making it more manageable for daily driving if needed, though it's primarily intended for performance use. The multi-friction disc offers a wider engagement window and improved heat dissipation, which is crucial for preventing clutch fade during repeated hard launches or track sessions.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is in good condition or to replace it if necessary, as a worn flywheel can negatively impact clutch performance and longevity. This kit is a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, but due to its performance-oriented nature, it's recommended to have it installed by a qualified technician. You may also want to consider replacing your pilot bearing and throw-out bearing at the same time to ensure a smooth and reliable drivetrain operation.
