The Exedy stage 2 clutch is our current go-to option for an upgraded 1.8L Miata clutch to pair with your KMiata flywheel for a turbo build. We've moved to the Exedy clutch in 2023 due to the OEM level of tolerances used in their pressure plate. 

Exedy manufacturers the OEM clutch that came in your Miata, so we trust them to supply us with clutches that meet tolerances that most aftermarket clutch manufacturers cannot meet. If you are using our hydraulic release bearing for your K24Z3 swap, we recommend only Exedy clutches be used.

Exedy racing clutches only use premium friction materials that are resistant to slippage and bursting. Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle modified engines. The stage 2 uses cerametallic material for street and track use, and pairs well with most turbocharged K24 swaps.

Drivability is slightly more involved compared to the stock clutch. Pedal efforts will be slightly higher because of the higher clamp loads. All of the clutch discs have spring center dampers to reduce drivetrain shock.
