Sport and Club keep the clutch.

Mazda’s 2026 MX-5 Spec Deck and the January 27 pricing release list a standard six-speed manual. Sport and Club are 6MT only. Grand Touring offers the 6MT or an available six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Club models get Bilstein dampers, a front shock tower brace, induction sound enhancer, DSC-Track, and an asymmetric conical clutch type limited-slip differential. Grand Touring with the manual gets the same Club performance hardware. That LSD and those Bilsteins are not on the automatic Grand Touring.
