So i was driving down the canyon yesterday and i felt my clutch slippping like a bitch and then followed by the one smell i hate. So now i am looking on the rpm store web site and i think i want to get the Clutch masters stage 2 but do i have to get a new flywheel too or can i stay with the oem one. Please let me know.

You can stay with your current flywheel, but the shop will want to turn it to make sure the mating surface doesn't have hot spots. Expect to pay $20-50 depending on the shop.

Keep in mind that the clutches listed on the RPM site are not the only options. I picked up an ACT clutch from carolinaclutch.com, and it's in the shop being oput in with an Exedy flywheel now.

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

Seat foam failure repeatedly, another known issue, at 48k and 65k.

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