Quinton Hazell QKT4898AF 3-Piece Clutch Kit

Replacement Quinton Hazell clutch kit for Mazda MX-5 MK3/NC 1.8 and 2.0 petrol models with compatible manual transmission, as listed in the compatibility table.

The clutch transfers engine power to the manual gearbox while allowing the engine and transmission to be disconnected during gear changes and when the vehicle is stationary. QKT4898AF is designed as an aftermarket replacement for the original clutch components on the applications listed.

This is a complete 3-piece service kit containing the clutch friction disc, clutch pressure plate and release bearing. Replacing these components together is recommended because all three are subject to wear during normal clutch operation.
