Competition Clutch 10060-2100 Stage 2 2100 Series Clutch Kit
Performance replacement Competition Clutch kit for Mazda MX-5 MK3 / NC 1.8L and 2.0L models with the 5-speed manual transmission listed in the compatibility table.
The Competition Clutch Stage 2 2100 Series is designed for drivers looking for increased clutch holding capacity while retaining progressive, manageable engagement for road use. It is particularly suited to fast-road cars, modified naturally aspirated engines and vehicles that see occasional track use.
The clutch assembly is fitted between the engine and manual gearbox and transfers engine torque through to the transmission. One clutch kit is required per vehicle.
Replacement may be required due to clutch slip, worn friction material, poor engagement or when increased engine output exceeds the capability of the standard clutch. The Stage 2 kit provides a useful step up from a standard replacement without moving to the more aggressive engagement characteristics of Competition Clutch's higher-stage ceramic kits.

Fitment advice: Part number 10060-2100 is the 5-speed NC application. It should not be selected for a 6-speed MX-5 solely on engine size, as Competition Clutch uses a different clutch kit part number for the NC 6-speed transmission. For imported, modified or previously repaired cars, matching the part number or component style on the part being replaced is recommended.
Other items to consider: When replacing the clutch, consider inspecting or replacing the flywheel at the same time. Competition Clutch lightweight and ultra-lightweight flywheel options are available for this application. It is also worth checking the clutch hydraulics, rear crankshaft oil seal and gearbox input area while the transmission is removed.
Useful tools / consumables: Clutch alignment tool, transmission jack, torque wrench, brake/clutch cleaner and appropriate high-temperature grease for specified release mechanism contact points.
Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Advanced. Installation requires removal of the gearbox, correct clutch alignment and accurate tightening of the pressure plate and associated components.
Why Competition Clutch? Competition Clutch is a trusted choice for performance-focused MX-5 owners who want stronger, more consistent clutch performance without sacrificing everyday usability. With options ranging from uprated road clutches through to more aggressive track-focused setups, Competition Clutch products are designed to deliver increased torque capacity, positive engagement and dependable performance.
What’s in the box: Competition Clutch performance pressure plate, high-torque sprung clutch disc with steel-backed Brass Plus friction material, release bearing where applicable, pilot bearing / bushing where applicable and clutch alignment tool. Flywheel is not included.
Installation notes: Inspect the flywheel friction surface before fitting the new clutch and replace or professionally prepare it as required. Correctly centre the clutch disc before refitting the transmission and follow the appropriate tightening sequence and torque specifications. Competition Clutch recommends a bedding-in period before subjecting the clutch to full-load performance use.
