XClutch "Stage 1" Clutch & Flywheel for ND2

DESCRIPTION

NEW - Goodwin Racing brings you upgraded clutch and flywheel options for the ND2 (2019+ MX5) built by the experts at XClutch.

XClutch is the US arm of Australian Clutch Services. These guys have been making some of the best clutches from stock to full blown motorsport applications for 30 years.

This Stage 1 package converts the flywheel to a single mass lighter weight unit and provides a bump up in torque capacity for high performance needs, while still being well mannered and easy to use on the street.

Includes:
- "Stage 1" clutch: Higher clamp load, organic full-face disc, sprung hub. Rated for 230 ft-lbs of torque.
- Single mass chromoly steel lightweight flywheel
- Flywheel bolts & pressure plate bolts
- Throwout bearing
- Pilot bearing
- Alignment tool

SINGLE MASS Flywheel Note: All aftermarket flywheels for the ND2 are SINGLE MASS flywheels. Factory flywheel for the 2019+ ND2 is a dual-mass flywheel, and Mazda did that because the dual mass design acts as a buffer to help reduce shock load to the transmission. The ND manual transmission is known for being a bit fragile. Mazda has made several internal updates to the transmissions over the years to improve its strength, so 2019+ cars have the best version, but they are still prone to issues and so Mazda did the dual mass flywheel to further protect the transmission. Aftermarket clutch/flywheel makers supporting the ND2 do not offer a dual mass flywheel like the factory style, so with any aftermarket clutch/flywheel package you are giving up that protection of the dual mass design, and accepting some added risk to the transmission by changing to a single mass flywheel. If you have more horsepower/torque than the factory clutch can handle, an aftermarket clutch may indeed be your only option, but you must understand some added risk comes along with this too. Mazda obviously will not warranty a transmission that was changed to an aftermarket clutch/flywheel.

TECH BULLETIN: The disc in this clutch is designed to be oriented with the damper side towards the flywheel. There is a printout of these directions inside the box, but you can also see it at the link below: TECH BULLETIN <----- Click this link.
