would this clutch work on my Escort GT 1.8 tranny? or a protege tranny?
it says it would work for a 1.8l MX-3, and the MX-3 and protege trannys are interchangable....so i assume it should fit.....please help me out

The Escort GT & Protege LXorGT use the same engine and trans G-series

The MX-3 has 3 different engines.

92-93 Mazda MX-3 RS model 1.6 sohc f-series trans
} trans are the same
94-96 Mazda MX-3 RS model 1.6 dohc f-series trans

92-96 Mazda MX-3 GS model 1.8 dohc V6 uses a different G-series trans.

The G-series trans for the 4 cly model is different than the G-series trans for the 6cly model.

90-94 Madza Protege LX model 1.8 dohc g-series trans same as the Escort GT

MX-3 and protege trannys are interchangable

Yes that is true but only among the B-series engines B6,BP,B6T,B8

G-series uses a 22 spline u'll need the clutch&flywheel

F-series uses a 20 spline u'll need the clutch&flywheel

Hope u notice the differents in flywheels.

its for a SOHC protege....i assume it will still work, but im gonna find out first

i don't think the SOHC one is interchangeable...

what kind of mods are you running...if you aren't running anything too crazy i would highly recommend the organic clutch disc. that 6-puck clutch is going to chatter (from what i've heard), and the take off won't be smooth. i have a BPT GTX and i have the organic disc and it is working really well.

i just looked up the clutch kits on corksport and the SOHC and DOHC are different kits. DOHC is more expensive

damn.....figures....as of now swap aside im just runnin CAI exhaust plugs wires MSD ignition and some suspension components....thanks tho, back to the drawing board on the clutch....that probably also means the axles for the SOHC wont fit the DOHC protege tranny either....
