That because Kia started to switch over to Hyandai engines and trannies when Mazda sold the holding and involvement in Kia in 97-98'

I did swap over bell housing when i had a transmission from a 2000 kia sephia


2000 kia trans

mazda g-series bell housing

and a set of gears from the mazda the side where the clutch slips in..

reason why is that the kia gears where to tall the shaft and the mazda gears shaft was short and all screw this..

to do what i did about a year ago is to much work and i never bolted it on to see if it was any better.. my boss throw it away months ago..

i was a 2000 kia/mazda hydrid trans that i think is not worth the effort to much bs it get it to work and not worth the time and money..
