My clutch is supposedly showing signs of wear and mazda has said i will need to get it replaced soon, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where the cheapest or best place or website to buy the parts to replace the clutch system. She told me like 4 parts i would need to replace and in total would be like $560 just for parts from Mazda but which i know their prices are greatly inflated most of the time so looking for a place where i could come out cheaper to get the parts because she said labor in itself will run me $500-$600 to install it... Anyone have any help for me please let me know...

Where are you located?

www.onlinemazdaparts.com should have a pretty good price.
www.mazdatrix.com carries OEM and aftermarket

I am in upstate South Carolina, Clemson to be exact, but Atlanta would be fine if i could find one for a good price.

if you want stock clutch, you can get it from OnlineMazdaParts.com or finishlineperformance.com. Both are this forum's vendor. You can pm them at

For finishlineperformance.com : PM RosenthalMazda
For onlinemazdaparts.com : PM BAGMAN1

During normal business hours, they usually respond within an hour.

Im sure they will be able to get you something cheaper than your local dealership(for me, they're cheaper than 5 of my local dealership by a LARGE margin)

The stock Flywheel are Steel and they almost last forever (sometimes u might need to resurface them, but thats about it)

The whole process should NOT take longer than 4 hours. I will say 5 hours the MOST. (So count the labor time)
