Description
For 2004–2009 Honda S2000 / 1986–1995 Mazda RX-7 / 2004–2011 Mazda RX-8 + more, the EXEDY Replacement Intermediate Plate – 2004–2009 Honda S2000 / 1986–1995 Mazda RX-7 / 2004–2011 Mazda RX-8 + more brings EXEDY's application-specific clutch engineering into one clearly organized product page for enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds.
A Century of Clutch Engineering
EXEDY traces its clutch-manufacturing roots to Japan in 1923 and grew globally through the Daikin Clutch name. Today, EXEDY supplies OEM powertrain components while applying the same engineering discipline to replacement and competition clutch systems used in street, road-race, rally, drag, and other motorsports environments.
Driveline Role
This EXEDY component is intended to service or rebuild a compatible clutch system with a correctly matched replacement part. Using the proper component matters because pressure plates, discs, intermediate plates, bearings, and Hyper-series hardware are engineered as a system rather than as interchangeable universal pieces.
This is best for owners maintaining an existing EXEDY assembly or performing a targeted clutch-system repair. Confirm the parent clutch kit or mating components before ordering, especially with Hyper-series and competition hardware.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: IM02
- Configuration: Clutch Service Component
- Construction / Character: Application-specific EXEDY configuration
- Torque Rating: Determined by the complete matched clutch system

Which Option Makes Sense?
For 2004–2009 Honda S2000 / 1986–1995 Mazda RX-7 / 2004–2011 Mazda RX-8 + more, this configuration makes the most sense when its intended duty matches the vehicle's actual power and use. Avoid overspecifying clutch aggressiveness: the best setup is the one that maintains the needed torque reserve while preserving usable modulation and protecting the rest of the driveline.
