XClutch 04-11 Mazda RX-8 Touring 1.3L Stage 2 Cushioned Ceramic Clutch Kit

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8, this Stage 2 cushioned ceramic clutch kit from XClutch is a solid option. It's designed to handle more torque and heat than the stock clutch, making it suitable for performance street driving. The kit includes a new friction disc, pressure plate, release bearing, pilot bearing, and an alignment tool, so you have most of what you need for the job.

This kit uses a cushioned ceramic friction disc, which means it has extra dampening between the friction surfaces and a sprung hub. This design helps with pedal modulation, giving you a more comfortable feel when engaging the clutch, while still offering the high heat and torque capacity needed for spirited driving. The heavy-duty diaphragm pressure plate is engineered to provide increased clamping force, ensuring a strong connection when you need it most. XClutch has over 30 years of experience in clutch technology, and their R&D facilities focus on balancing driveability with performance for various applications.

When replacing your clutch, it's always a good idea to inspect your flywheel for wear and resurface or replace it if necessary. This kit is specifically designed for the Mazda RX-8's 1.3L rotary engine and is recommended for performance street use where higher heat and torque capacity are required.
