I just bought my first mazda today and i was just wondering what clutch came stock on the 2001 mazda mp3 because i can just tell its atleast a stage two thats in the car just by the strength it takes to push the clutch in
 
Its just a normal oem clutch. It isn't a stage 2 or anything....the car only makes 140hp. My clutch feels like a normal clutch it isn't heavy or anything. Did the previous owner upgrade it?
 
he said he didnt but its for sure a stage two and its catching late so i might need to replace it soon im thinking bout putting the stage two back in at its not much more on price any suggestions?
 
As someone who has driven an MP3 since new - believe me when I say that the stock clutch was crap. I remember a service bulletin that told dealers to replace it for customers due to grabbing when cold/wet. Mine did that but my dealer's service manager refused to replace it. After 85,000-90,000 miles I finally replaced it with an aftermarket but not hi-po model and wished I had spent the money years earlier.
