I had just got this exedy clutch stage 2 with the exdy flywheel I booked the 15 of jan to install this clutch + the car is made in Japan and the clutch is made in japan +exedy is the clutch company that allready make the stock one let see what will happen

I will give feedback on it when it's allready install but anyway I think it cost alot I have paid 1108$ for the everything I even got a new counter weight N3Z2-11-52x mazda part I still don't know if I really have it in the car but were I live is so far and I travel to the US once every year so I got it anyway just to insure that the flywheel will have the right counter weight.

so the dealership ended up changing out both the pilot and release bearings. it's been a couple of weeks and a few hundred miles, and so far the chirping hasn't come back. hoping it stays like this...at least until its time for a new clutch.
