Upgrade the drivetrain of your 2003 Mazda Mazdaspeed Protege with the Action Clutch Stage 1 Clutch Kit (1OS), part number ACR-2918. Designed for the 2.0L DOHC FS-DE turbocharged engine, this kit is engineered for stock vehicles and basic bolt-on applications that require dependable performance beyond the factory clutch. It delivers a smooth, predictable engagement while maintaining an OEM-like pedal feel for comfortable street driving.
The Action Clutch Stage 1 kit uses reinforced steel-backed copper Kevlar organic friction material paired with a single-diaphragm heavy-duty pressure plate. This combination provides a 70% increase in holding capacity over the factory clutch, making it well suited for heavy-duty street use and mild track applications. The organic friction material supports consistent engagement and controlled drivability without the abrupt behavior often associated with more aggressive clutch compounds.
Safety and durability are central to the design of the ACR-2918. Action Clutch incorporates patented, fully enclosed spring retainers to help prevent springs from dislodging and causing engine or transmission damage. Each kit is quality checked and approved by an experienced Action Clutch engineer before release, providing additional confidence in consistent operation. The complete Stage 1 clutch kit is designed specifically for the 2003 Mazda Protege and is an effective replacement for drivers seeking increased holding power without sacrificing everyday usability. This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
