I have a 04' Mazda6S that the clutch has gone out on. I am aware of Mazda's ongoing clutch problems. I am not looking to replace the clutch with a factory replacement. I would like to look for something more reliable so I am not needing to replace in another 50,000 miles. If any of you could add your input on a recommended clutch upgrade that would be much appreciated.

 

Bump

 

ACT makes a nice clutch for our cars. I am at 89k miles on the original clutch.

 

Do you know if I can use the original flywheel and if so does it need to be resurfaced?

 

you can reuse the original flywheel if you have it resurfaced.

 

Great news! Thanks a million.

 

IM NO ASE MECHANIC BUT YOU MIGHT WANNA LOOK INTO EXEDY STAGE 1 AND 2 CLUTCH KITS!! THEY HAVE MORE LOAD CLAMPING POWER AND ARE GENERALLY USED FOR STREET/STRIP DRIVING!!! IF YOU JUST A DAILY DRIVER EXEDY HAS GREAT OEM CLUTCHES!! PERSONALLY I LIKE THE STAGE ONE APPLICATION GOOD DRIVE ABILLITY!!! IF YOUR SWAPING OUT THE CLUTCH I WOULD ALSO RECOMEND SWAPING OUT THE HEAVY STOCK FLY WHEEL AND REPLACING IT W/EXEDY LIGHT WEIGHT FLY WHEEL!!! LESS WEIGHT MORE POWER AND EXEDY FLY WHEELS ARE ALL STEEL SO YOU YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT FAILING!!
