Construction & Design

The Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch is built with a focus on durability and performance. The friction disc utilizes a cerametallic compound that resists heat and wear, making it ideal for high-stress applications. The disc's thick design enhances heat capacity and helps maintain consistent engagement even under demanding conditions. The sprung center dampers are engineered to absorb drivetrain shocks, reducing stress on transmission components and providing smoother operation.

The clutch assembly is meticulously manufactured with high-quality materials and precision engineering to ensure perfect fitment and reliable operation. The use of a robust pressure plate and a heavy-duty clutch disc guarantees that your Mazda RX-7 can handle increased power levels without slipping or fading. The design also emphasizes heat dissipation, helping to prolong the lifespan of the clutch components during aggressive driving or extended use.
