Frequently Asked Questions
What years of Mazda MX-5 Miata does the ACT ZM14-HDSS fit?The ACT ZM14-HDSS fits the 2019-2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata including the Sport, Club, Grand Touring, RF Club, RF Grand Touring, 2020 100th Anniversary Special Edition, 2020 RF 100th Anniversary Special Edition, and 2025 35th Anniversary trims.
Does the ACT ZM14-HDSS fit the RF (retractable fastback) version of the MX-5 Miata?Yes. The ZM14-HDSS fits the MX-5 Miata RF in the RF Club and RF Grand Touring trims for the 2019-2025 model years, including the RF 100th Anniversary Special Edition in 2020.
Is the ACT ZM14-HDSS suitable for daily driving?Yes. The Performance Street organic disc with sprung hub maintains the smooth, light clutch feel that MX-5 Miata drivers value, even with the heavier-clamping Heavy Duty pressure plate. Pedal effort increases modestly over stock but remains manageable for daily commuting.
Does the ACT ZM14-HDSS kit include a flywheel?The ZM14-HDSS kit includes the pressure plate, disc, release bearing, alignment tool, and mounting hardware. Please verify with your parts supplier whether a flywheel is included in this specific configuration before ordering, as ACT offers both with-flywheel and clutch-only configurations.
Will the ACT ZM14-HDSS work with a modified or tuned 2019-2025 MX-5 Miata?Yes. The Heavy Duty pressure plate in the ZM14-HDSS is designed to handle power levels above the factory clutch threshold, making it well-suited for Miatas with intake, exhaust, tune, or other performance modifications that increase torque output.
How does the ACT ZM14-HDSS compare to a stock Miata clutch?The ZM14-HDSS delivers significantly higher clamp load than the factory clutch, improving torque handling and wear resistance for performance driving. The Performance Street disc retains organic friction material for smooth engagement similar to stock, while ACT's four-stage heat-treated diaphragm ensures greater longevity under spirited driving conditions.
Does the ACT ZM14-HDSS require professional installation?Professional installation is recommended. Clutch replacement on the MX-5 Miata requires transmission removal, and precise torque specifications and alignment are critical for correct operation and longevity of the new components.
Is the ACT ZM14-HDSS covered by a warranty?Yes. The ZM14-HDSS is backed by ACT's limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms and claim procedures are available directly through ACT or an authorized ACT dealer.
Does the ACT ZM14-HDSS fit the 2019-2025 MX-5 Miata with automatic transmission?No. The ZM14-HDSS is a manual transmission clutch kit and is only compatible with MX-5 Miata models equipped with the 6-speed manual gearbox.
Installation Instructions
- Safely support the vehicle and remove the transmission following the Mazda MX-5 Miata ND2 factory service manual procedure
