Description
Designed around the drivetrain package used in Thick Disc Clutch Kit – 1990–2005 Mazda Miata, the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic – Thick Disc Clutch Kit – 1990–2005 Mazda Miata is intended for drivers prioritizing enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds and correct EXEDY component matching.
EXEDY Heritage
EXEDY's history reaches back to 1923 in Japan, with decades of clutch development under the Daikin Clutch name. The company is both a major OEM powertrain supplier and a long-established performance-clutch manufacturer, with products engineered for everything from original-power street cars to dedicated motorsports use.
Why This Part Fits the Build
EXEDY's performance single- and multi-plate systems are intended to raise torque capacity and heat tolerance while matching the engagement characteristics to the car's intended use. Stage 1 uses an organic friction strategy for the most street-friendly behavior; Stage 2 moves to cerametallic friction for harder use; Hyper systems add dedicated flywheel and multi-plate architecture for substantially higher-output builds.
Choose the least aggressive configuration that comfortably covers the engine's torque and heat load. That approach normally gives the best balance of drivability, service life, transmission friendliness, and track durability.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: 10951
- Configuration: Stage 2 Cerametallic
- Construction / Character: Application-specific EXEDY configuration
- Torque Rating: Application-specific / verify EXEDY rating
- Best Suited For: Use where this exact EXEDY configuration and fitment are required
Application Recommendation
For Thick Disc Clutch Kit – 1990–2005 Mazda Miata, 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.
Technical Notes
- Clamp Load: Stage 1/2 covers are designed around roughly 40% higher clamping load than the genuine part
- Pedal Effort: Typical Stage 1/2 increase is approximately 20–35%, application dependent
- Flywheel Compatibility: Stage 1/2 generally use the OEM flywheel unless noted; Hyper systems include/require their dedicated flywheel
- Certification: EXEDY Stage 1, Stage 2 and Lightweight Flywheel products are SFI 1.1 certified
- Vehicle Application: Thick Disc Clutch Kit – 1990–2005 Mazda Miata
- EXEDY SKU: 10951
Application-specific construction notes: Cerametallic friction.
Fitment note: Because clutch fitment is sensitive to transmission and flywheel changes, verify the complete vehicle configuration before purchase. Modified swaps or previously converted flywheel systems may require a different EXEDY part than a stock vehicle.
