Do I need a different clutch with a KL swap?

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.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? ------------------ dorin@canada.com

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.------------------ David Coleman- Moderator <A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A> <A HREF="http://www.wuname.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl" TARGET=_blank>Wu Name</A>

Or to put it another way, is the following correct?engine | tranny | clutch -------+--------+-------- 1.8 K8 | 1.8 K8 | 1.8 K8 2.5 KL | 1.8 K8 | 1.8 K8 1.8 K8 | 2.5 KL | 2.5 KL 2.5 KL | 2.5 KL | 2.5 KL [This message has been edited by dorin (edited August 15, 2001).]
