I know it's been done to death, but not recently. My front seal went out in my 6i, and to replace it I'm going to have to pull the tranny, and might as well do a clutch in there. I figure my options are:

1) OEM or aftermarket OEM-style clutch (not a fan although mine has lasted nearly 70k)
2) Clutchmaster FX200
3) ?

What is the current opinion on new clutches? Note that I don't race, and won't be doing a lightened flywheel most likely, I just want to never have to replace the clutch again.

Transmission failure due to improperly (factory) installed dowel pin at 65k.

Engine failure due to known engine problems at 81k.
Seat foam failure repeatedly, another known issue, at 48k and 65k.

Good job, Mazda, you've manage to drive away another customer.
