Clutch Design and Functionality
• The clutch design (also used in RX7) converts it from a pull type to a push type, resulting in smoother actuation and easier utilization.
• The clutch utilizes a hydraulic release bearing that presses on splines for smooth engagement.
• Compared to other manufacturers with pull type triple plates, this push type design offers better pedal feel and predictability.
• The custom flywheel made from forged aluminum provides fast revving capability while being able to handle heat during street use.
• Despite being a 7.25" clutch, the reduced rotating mass of the forged aluminum flywheel makes it behave like a smaller clutch, improving performance.
Advantages of Forged Aluminum Flywheel
• The forged aluminum flywheel is stronger than traditional aluminum flywheels used in racing applications.
• It allows for quick engine revving similar to a Mazda factory race setup
• The reduced moment of inertia and rotational mass contribute to quicker shift times and improved deceleration on the track.
• The steel ring gear pressed onto the flywheel provides durability, while a steel wear surface prevents direct contact between discs and raw aluminum.
