The k8 tranny fits. i used some perfomance clutch i got off ebay..worked fine
You can also use an mx6, probe gt, or 626 manual tranny.(v6 of course)

im not sure what u mean by call numbers, but the codes and shiz are on the back of the valve covers (dont need to remove anything to see them..maybe some dirt) and the have codes stamped on the cams. forget what there suppose to say : P.

so any clutch kit from a 2.5 (mx6-probe) will fit into the stock mx3 tranny housing. so what would be better, getting a aftermarket clutch for the mx3 or the same clutch for the 6 or probe?

YES! the clutch interchanges with the 626, probe, mx3, mx6..all this info is in the FAQ.

If you want a slightly bigger clutch, get the probe one. Its up to you. my mx3 ACT is plenty for my setup.

Don't skimp on the clutch, you might want to up the power down the road(cams,N2o). Be sure to inspect the mounts, poly fill if necessary might wanna go mazdaspeed. These are some of the things I'm going through now with cams and all.
