I'm getting a KL-ZE and I was thinking that I should get a new clutch at the same time. The current clutch feels pretty week and I figure having the clutch changed as the engines are swappped should save some money on the labour.<P>So the question is can I use a clutch meant for the 1.8L V6 MX-3 with the 2.5L KL-ZE engine or do I need an MX-6 clutch?<BR><P>------------------<BR> dorin@canada.com

I have a stock clutch on my 2.5 but to wont hold power shift in to second or into thrid<BR>so I would get a clutch I just got my ACT Extream plate and disk today but if your going to do the clutch what about the flywheel? I'm going to to get mine machined down to 13lbs<P>Happy Motoring<P>------------------<BR>Clear White 2.5L GSR

I'm pretty sold on the aftermarket clutch idea. My question is whether I can order a clutch for a 1.8L MX-3 and fit it to the 2.5L engine or do I need to order a clutch for a 2.5L MX-6/Probe instead?

I have a clutch for a MX-6 2.5L in my MX-3 right now [1.8L]. Heh, actually now I have a MX-6 tranny too, but at any rate the ACT clutch for the MX-6 V6 will work on any V6 MX-3.<P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.wuname.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl" TARGET=_blank><B><I>Wu Name</I></B></A>

I you can run the MX-6 ACT clutch with ANY V6 MX-3. No matter what engine or tranny you have [assuming its not an automatic that is]. ANY TRANSMISSION AND ANY V6 ENGINE.<P>clear?<P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><A HREF="http://www.highlandsun.com/hyc/sae920677/" TARGET=_blank><I>V6 engine info</I></A> | <A HREF="http://www.bradbury.cwc.net/probemx/index.htm" TARGET=_blank>KL FAQ</A> | <I><A HREF="http://www.brownsword.ca/Probe.html" TARGET=_blank>ECU reprogramming</A></I> | <A HREF="http://members.home.net/tekguy/" TARGET=_blank>K series Image cache</A> | <I><A HREF="http://archive.probetalk.com/cgi-bin/se ... tion=intro" TARGET=_blank>Probetalk Archive Search</A></I></B>
