XClutch 88-89 Mazda 323 GTX 1.6L Stage 2 Cushioned Ceramic Clutch Kit

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch on your 1988 or 1989 Mazda 323 GTX with the 1.6L engine, this Stage 2 cushioned ceramic clutch kit from XClutch is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more torque and heat than the stock clutch, making it suitable for performance street applications where you need a reliable clutch that won't fade under pressure.

XClutch has put a lot of thought into these kits. The pressure plate uses a heavy-duty diaphragm design that increases clamping force for better engagement, and they've analyzed the pivot points to give you a more positive pedal feel. The cushioned ceramic friction disc is key here; it has a sprung hub and extra dampening between the friction surfaces. This not only helps with heat capacity but also allows for improved pedal modulation, meaning you get a smoother engagement when you're driving, even with the increased performance. This kit is recommended for vehicles that need a higher level of torque holding and heat resistance.

When you open the box, you'll find the friction disc, the pressure plate, a release bearing, and a pilot tool to help with installation. XClutch has over 30 years of experience in clutch technology, and their R&D facilities are top-notch, so you can be confident in the engineering behind this kit. It's a well-built upgrade for your performance street 323 GTX.
