noob question on tranny
Hi,
i'm not really used to rwd mazda,and i'm trying to figure out a couple of things
first of all, is it possible to use a 1.8 clutch(curently have a FM2 clutch) on a 1.6 tranny? or will i be ''forced'' to go the 1.8 route?
i wanted to install the fm2 clutch and keep the oem tranny,so that i can upgrade the open diff to a torsen.
thanks for ure time

The 1.6 and 1.8 cars used the same 5-speed but different clutch and flywheel sizes. A 1.8 clutch will not work with a 1.6 flywheel and pressure plate because it is larger in diameter. You will need the 1.8 flywheel and PP to match the clutch.
