sorry guys, new place .. too much work for the car :(
i am going to be taking it for an improvement soon, but i would really like some help here . The car needs a clutch, like NOW
I am going to get a Ebay thing, since no parts here.
If it was up to u, what will i put in my car ?

1 - F1 RACING STAGE 1 CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 MX-3 GS V6 at 91 bucks without shipping costs
2 - F1 RACING STAGE 2 CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 MX-3 GS V6 at 139 bucks without shipping costs
3 - F1 RACING STAGE 3 CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 MX-3 GS V6 at 129 bucks without shipping costs
4 - EXEDY NEW CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 GS 1.8L V6 at 102 bucks without shipping costs

let's see this ... 2 brands
The exedy clutch i think its OEM replacement, but its a better brand and must be better than F1 stage 1 thing .
They are all from the same Ebay seller.
The stage 3 F1 is cheaper than stage 2 , why is that ?

if anyone can take the time to help out, i would be happy.
thank you in advance :)

I'd go with the stage 2. That way, if you plan to tweak your engine any further, you don't have to change it again in the future.

then, why not a stage 3 ?

As far as I know, stage 3 are significantly more difficult to live with on a daily basis, and some require a warmup time before use, to perform properly.
However, I'm not precisely an "expert" in the matter, so i'd advise you to wait for someone more knowledgeable to pitch in.
Also, starting a specific thread about it wouldn't be a bad idea... :)

NO THE EBAY BRAND CLUTCH IS POOP! DO NOT GET THE F1 CLUTCHES!


Don't be fooled by the price, do a search, many people have not had good luck w/ them. The exedy organic for a probe will do just fine. I believe it is slightly bigger than the mx3. I personally got the clutchmasters stage 1, and am very happy with it.
