If your running a K8, it should be ok, but on a KL, don't expect it to last for more than couple of months. When it comes to clutches, stick with reputable companies...many people learned this the hard way.

thanx alot man I couldn't find a company with a us price. All I could find was euros I didn't want to deal with that.

oh and as for a clutch any suggestions(think cheap) in all honesty the stock oem for a probe should be fine I would think. It's only a De and the car is lighter.

I did a thread on ProbeTalk about that a while ago and they're even hit-and-miss about suggesting a stock DE clutch on a DE unless you're just doing regular driving.

A Stage 1 from a reputable manufacturer is all you need.

To handle harder driving.

I am swapping to a DE and I considered OEM. BUT, the thing I feared the most was slippage. I also am planning on a turbo setup later in the future.... therefore, I went with a Clutchmasters Stage I kit. It's a N/A engine for now but to have the grip and not need it is one thing; to need the grip and not have it would be a pain in the a**. Some words of wisdom if you are considering spirited driving or have plans to upgrade.

I've been flogging my ZE on a Exidy OEM replacement clutch without issue.

x2... for more than 80k miles now... I drive quite spirited too

[mazdags94]

Lol, I've researched your claims before and I'll say that it was you guys that allowed me to consider the Exedy OEM clutch kit. However, I ended up getting a great deal on the CM stage I kit for less than the OEM! Gotta love those people who buy parts and sell their vehicles .

ive used a f1 racing s--- in my mx3 when i swaped the ze and it died 2 months after the swap dont buy it... buy a good one once and youll be glad you did...

Ya, I've heard good things of those...but I don't know if I'd consider that an "OEM" clutch, it's way better than that, and Exedy doesn't make any performance clutches for the Mazda K-series or FWD B-series, but it is considered an OEM replacement, so my statement doesn't really stand true with that exception, but may be one of the only, if not THE only "OEM" replacement.

I think I'm going to try this xtd stage 3 clutch on ebay. It looks pretty good and there is alot of good feedback about the product. Unless someone out there has used it I think it will do just fine (alot of clutch wear is driver induced) I've never burned out a clutch yet.

[wytbishop]

Alot of MX-3 clutch wear is ZE induced. Your DE would be just fine even with a parts store OEM replacement.
