Stellar Automotive Group FNR5 Reduction Direct Clutch Bonded Retainer fits Mazda

Stellar Automotive Group FNR5 Reduction Direct Clutch Bonded Retainer – Compatible for Mazda & Ford 2006-2012

Stop slipping in 3rd-5th gears, delayed upshifts, and burnt reduction direct clutches with this precision bonded retainer from Stellar Automotive Group.

This direct-replacement retainer holds the reduction direct clutch piston and return spring in perfect alignment. The factory retainer commonly warps or loses its bond under heat and mileage, causing internal leakage that weakens clutch apply — leading to flare on upshifts, slipping under load, and rapid friction failure. This upgraded bonded steel retainer with permanently bonded rubber seal restores full line pressure, delivers crisp 3rd-to-5th transitions, and protects your clutch pack for reliable daily driving.

Perfect fit for popular models including:

• Mazda 3, 5, 6, Tribute
• Ford Escape, Fusion

Symptoms of a failing reduction direct retainer:

• Flare or slip on 3-4 or 4-5 upshift
• Delayed engagement in higher gears
• Burnt reduction direct frictions on teardown
• Harsh shifts when clutches finally grab

Don’t risk another rebuild on a warped retainer — install the Stellar Automotive Group bonded reduction direct retainer and shift strong through every gear.
