Hey will a SOHC clutch kit work on the DOHC because seems to me that ACT makes a better kit for the SOHC then the DOHC!!! Will putting the SOHC kit on the DOHC be a good idea??

The clutch and flywheel match the tranny. If you have a BP with the "F" series tranny, you will be able to use the SOHC clutch.

The standard tranny from the SOHC is an "F" series tranny. The standard tranny from the another car hosting the BP engine is a "G" seriec tranny.

The standard tranny from the 94-95 MX-3 (DOHC B6) is a ??? (I don't know).

If you have a "F" series tranny, you must use the "F" series flywheel, and an "F" series clutch.

If you have a "G" series tranny, you must use the "G" series flywheel, and a "G" series clutch.

You cannot use a "G" series clutch on a "F" series tranny and vice versa.

Be careful calling something a DOHC tranny because I don't think the BP tranny (G) is the same as the DOHC tranny from a 94-95 MX-3. Someone who knows should elaborate on this. It is better to call them "F" series and "G" series.
