i really have no idea what you are talking about but i wanted to respond b/c nobody has gotten back to you yet. I am buying a clutch kit off of rockauto.com the only one that they sell as a kit for like a 137.00, this includes 2 bearings, pressure plate and clutch disc and alignment tool. That's all i need I don't race or anything like that.

I've heard that the clutch of the 1.6L Miata should fit on our 1.6L but I haven't verified that yet. I'll keep digging and see what else I find. Oh supposedly the flywheel from the Miata also fits.

you can get the spec stage 1 for about $260 at horsepowerfreaks.com..or the ACT stage 1 also....i just got the SPEC.,and i have a 1999 protege dx (1.6)

or you can get an EXEDY (oem) on ebay for about $120...but i recommend the SPEC or ACT...much better!!!

how do you like it? I am due to a new clutch and am thinking about getting that one.

it is great,really huge improvement over the stock clucth...i kept the same flywheel (just resurfaced it).
since i am not racing the car,the SPec stage 1 is plenty enough...anyway,i love having it!!!
i also replaced my shifter with a fidanza short shifter and a stainless steel clutch line.
my next upgrade will be the tokico struts and springs set.
i also installed some BREMBO SPORT rotors and Stainless Steel brake line...

Yeah mine's starting to shudder a bit when it's a bit cold outside. I figured since I'm going to replace my clutch I'd also get a lightened fly wheel.

i was going to do it too,but i found a thread somewhere (can't remember where right now)saying that too light might not be a good thing.

Hey check out this thread. It talks about the lightened flywheel.

that's for a 2.0, we have the 1.6L. I read somewhere a while ago that we can use a Miata 1.6 lightened flywheel, not sure and have not heard about anyone doing it.

 

[AzteCypher]

yeah that's what i heard too.

Is the car shuddering or the clutch?
How would I know the clutch is done for or has to be replaced?

you can feel it when you change gears,when it starts to slipper a little,then it is time to change it.
anyways, it is good to change it if your car has over 80000 miles. mine has 114000 miles

I can feel mine shudder when I drive the car for the first time in the day. It's only initial and very slight but I can tell because I'm really used to my car. After it heats up it works okay. My car's got over 89,000 mi 30,000 of which are because of "very spirited driving".
