have some problems with the clutch!need help!!
last night my son took my car and he came back by the tower truck...
I went to the dealer store and they told me that the clutch burned...they ask me to get new clutch from them for like 1000$ or something.but I have checked on ebay that EXEDY clutch are like 300$ ish so I think I better get a clutch kit myself on ebay. but just have 2 questions!
1. The clutch is not under warranty? Mazda say that I am the one who uses the clutch kit. and this part is not covered.
2.which EXEDY clutch kit I should get? EXEDY OEM or the stage 1 kit?what is the difference between them?and if I should replace other parts other than the clutch kit??

How many miles are on the car? Major determining factor on warranty replacement of clutches.

I THINK the clutch is only covered for like 12,000 miles or something...personally I would go with a stage one clutch over oem anyday..a little stiffer yet still able to b driven everyday!!!

Clutch isn't covered. Just went through this. Blew my clutch.
Got it towed to the dealer. $1400 bucks for Stock Clutch and flywheel.
I would of got an after market one, like an act prolite kit, but the towing to a place that would put it in was ridculous. So I'm going to wait till I turbo my car for the new clutch.
I hate the Mazda Dealership by me, when I got the car back the exhaust wasn't even tightened. I'm driving and its way louder and normal so I brought it back and the yahoo behind the counter gave me a dirty look and said I doubt it but we will look at it.
So I went into the garage with the guy that did my clutch, he threw it up on the lift and hes like "oh I musta forgot to tighten that" I wanted to say oh yeah what else didn't you tighten?
