Talk to CRH of Black Halo Racing

 

You can get OE clutch for 170 bux, including new disc, pp, TB, PB & pb seal, alignment tool, and small package of grease.

stock will hold up just fine. or you can talk to CRH like phil suggested.

 

Just Curious Nycgps...what Does Tb And StaNd For?? And I Just Got Off The Phoen With A Local Mazda Dealer And They Want $274.13 Pressure Plat, $219.04 For Discs And $37 For Something Else....and A Labor Cost Of$672...so Where Can I Find A Clutch With All Thats Needed For $170???

 

TB means Throwout bearing - This is something that you want to replace everytime you drop your transmission. If you buy it off Mazda is about 35-40-ish bucks.

Yes, if u buy parts off Mazda dealer it will cost you around 400 something for Disc and PP alone. I think their 37 bux for something else is the TB.

Labor cost 672 is kinda expensive, I did mine at a pretty good place for 380 bux.

Also, you might want to order a Front and Rear Transmission seal, You should replace the Rear everytime u drop ur tranny just like TB, but if the Front seal is not leaking, leave it.

Nevermind, I just checked with that vendor, they dont have the Clutch kit that I've got anymore. Damn, it seems that I got a really great deal ! I should've got a few more o well.

You might want to Give CRH a pm, he can hook you up with a deal.

Or you can get it from here.

$399 ITS TOWARD THE MIDDLE..THE OEM STYLE.
FROM WHAT I READ FROM ABOVE IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TO DROP THE TRANNY..TO ACCESS THE CLUTCH??I ONLY ASK B/C A GUY AT MY JOB WANTED ME TO FIND OUT WHERE IT IS SO WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO IT AT MY JOB...I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT MAINTAINS AND FIXES HELICOPTERS SO IF THERE IS A TOOL WE HAVE IT SOMEWHERE..BUT I DONT KNOW IF HE'LL WANT TO GO THAT FAR

 

J, I don't replace the front seal on our trannies when I do a clutch swap. I don't even replace the rear seal, either. Then again, I have some tricks I employ with my methodologies.

BTW, Heli, the part numbers you are looking for on the Exedy stuff are
1) Factory Exedy clutch(1,455 lbs.); MZK1002, $385 from BHR.
2) Exedy Stage 1 clutch(1,895 lbs.); 10803A, $310 from BHR.

 

Well, yeah you dont have to replace the front seal everytime, but rear is easy & cheap to replace so why not ? :P but thats just me.

mmmmmm .... Great prices as always !

Get it from CRH, S76HELI.

 

Good Price...1 Question Though On Installing A Stage 1 Clutch..how Much Stress Is That Going To Put On The Tranny...b/c A Coworker Told To Watch What I Install Unless I Plan On Doing More Upgrades To Withstand The New Aftermarket Clutch..??

 

Stages 1 & 2 of anything will give you stock like feel. While stage 2s are ususally made of a all kevlar disc, meaning better wear, better cooling, better clamping.

Personally I would take the opportunity to do a lightweight flywheel and clutch upgrade.

 

OK SORRY THAT PEOPLE ARE GIVING ME THEIR PEROSNEL ADVICE AND I DIDNT REALIZE THAT ASKING ON MY FORUM THAT A CO WORKER SAID" To Watch What I Install Unless I Plan On Doing More Upgrades To Withstand The New Aftermarket Clutch" WAS A BADSTAEMENT FROM HIM AND HAVING ME ASK ON MY FORUM ABOUT WHAT WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT TO INSTALL THE NEW CLUTCH WAS ANOTHER BAD REMARK..

ORIGINAL QUESTION: COST OF A CLUTCH?IS AN AFTERMARKET BAD CHOICE IF I DO NO OTHER UPGRADES?HOW HARD IS IT TO INSTALL ONE?HOW MANY OTHER COMPONETS WILL I HAVE TO REMOVE TO INSTALL?

 

Caps Lock Is Cool

CRH is one of the best guy we have here ... he knows what he is talking about and you SHOULD listen to what he said ...
