Thanks Slixx. Looking for a new clutch as we speak. The cushioned button sounds better for a car that gets a bit of traffic during the day IMO.

I'd go for a tuff clutch - had one put in a 220rwkw 3.0L skyline and it never complained - even on a day when i did 16 passes at heathcote - and I'd argue it made a fair bit more torque than an MPS.
Any more clutch than that and you risk ruining the daily drive ability.

Bloody hell!
That's a bout 3 times what I paid to get one put in the skyline, admittedly didnt need to do the fly wheel and a north-south RWD gearbox is much easier to work with but still!
I'm gonna think twice about using launch control off the line now!
@ slixx do you actually need a new clutch? or just want one?
I've only done 60,000kms... so no i dont need one
But just investiagting my options for the future
@LOOPYMPS has only done 50,000kms, but i think Calder has taken its toll on his car!

awesome, let us know pete.. that quote is like... we dont want the job but we wil do it for $2700 lol
this is why i do that sort of stuff myself i wouldnt pay anymore then $800 labor to get a clutch installed if i had brought it already its not hard to do at all, that price is just the dealer/shop ripping you off hard

Mazda will want ~$1200 labour to do a clutch in an MPS 6... and will refuse to fit non-OEM...
I paid $600 in labour to get mine fitted and the guy swore at me afterwards...
The clutch kit is around $1600 (sport tuff HD)
Cheers,
Chris.

From memory the Cushioned button was ~$100 more and the "stock" was ~$100 less than the HD...
Look up my old clutch thread for the details... :-)
Pedal weight with the HD I have is heavier than stock... enough that the GF dun like it... and everyone else who drives it comments on it... but it DOES bite and is easier to work than the standard one...

But I HIGHLY reccomend a replacement flexible clutch line to go with the HD clutch...
Mine failed within months of the clutch install, and the pedal feel with he braided line is heaps better anyway!
'05 MPS 6, Liquid Silver Metallic, Leather, Sunroof.
DashHawk, TurboSmart Dualport, COBB SF SRI and TIP, CPe REM, 2XS Titanium SSP, Coolant bypass,Exedy OEM spec clutch, Corksport SS Braided Clutch Line, ROH Mantis 18*7.5+45.
Growing old is compulsory... Growing up is optional...
Does anyone know how long it takes to replace a clutch in the 3?
