Product Description

The Exedy MZK1002 OEM Clutch Kit is a direct replacement clutch assembly engineered specifically for 2004-2005 Mazda RX-8 R2 models equipped with the 1.3-liter rotary engine and manual transmission. Built to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer standards, this kit restores proper clutch engagement and pedal feel after wear or failure of the factory clutch. Its sprung hub organic friction disc and advanced damping technologies help deliver smoother engagement and quieter operation compared to worn clutch systems.

The MZK1002 kit includes a clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing, and alignment tool for a complete clutch service. The wide-angle damper and noise reduction design enhance drivability and reduce harshness during gear changes, making this OEM-style clutch kit an excellent choice for routine replacements or drivetrain refreshes on RX-8 R2 vehicles. Flywheel resurfacing or inspection is recommended when installing this kit to ensure optimal mating surface and longevity of the new clutch components.
