This Exedy Performance flywheel is engineered for the verified Mazda 3, Mazda 5, Mazda MX-5 Miata applications shown below. Correct selection depends on the exact vehicle, transmission, engine, production range, and clutch or hydraulic configuration, so match the complete application before ordering.
Key Features
- Chromoly Steel: All EXEDY Lightweight Flywheels are made from either forged or billet chromoly steel.
- SFI Approved: The SFI Specification establishes uniform test procedures and minimum standards for evaluating and determining performance capabilities specifically for replacement flywheels used by individuals engaged in competitive motorsports.
- EXEDY Lightweight Flywheels combine low weight, low inertia and high thermal capacity.
- They are made from solid one-piece billet chromoly steel or chromoly steel forgings.
- EXEDY lightweight flywheels have passed engineering tests to 15,000-18,000 RPM.
- Thanks to this combination of materials, chromoly has an excellent strength to weight ratio and is considerably stronger and harder than standard 1020 steel or other aluminum flywheels on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Exedy ZF501A fit my Mazda 3?
Use the complete fitment table and confirm the engine, transmission, production range, clutch or hydraulic configuration, and manufacturer part number. A shared make and model alone does not prove compatibility.
What should I inspect before installing this flywheel?
Inspect the mating surfaces, flywheel or flexplate, pilot and release bearings, fork and pivot, input shaft, seals, hydraulics, fasteners, and transmission alignment. Replace worn or leaking related parts before assembly.
Does this Exedy Performance component require a break-in period?
Friction components normally require the current Exedy break-in procedure. Hydraulic parts, bearings, and flywheels require operational checks rather than friction break-in. Follow the instructions supplied for this exact component.
Installation Instructions
Clutch and drivetrain work is safety critical. Follow the current Exedy and vehicle service procedures, support the vehicle and transmission correctly, clean and inspect all mating surfaces, use new required fasteners and fluids, follow the specified alignment and torque sequence, bleed hydraulics where applicable, and verify clutch release and safe operation before road use. Professional installation is recommended.
