May be talk in Russian???? :-))) Joke :-)))

I wish to use manual transmission from the engine of series KF (I have already bought it). ACTnot have clutch kit for KF, I hope that from MX6 will be good. What your opinion???

I have an MX6 transmission on my MX3 with a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch for the 2.5L MX6. Works GREAT!!

i was actually wondering the same thing as this guy.is it cool to keep the 1.8l trans if so what is your opinion on replacing the clutch?

Keep the same tranny (provided that all your synchros are fine.. meaning it doesnt pop out of gear, and you dont have any trouble getting into the gears) and upgrade the clutch for sure. THere are a lot of options for clutches out there... The ACT clutch is by far the strongest but may be too stiff for some people during daily driving.

Personally I have a Centerforce Dual Friction and it is very close to stock (feelwise) but holds the power of the KLZE just fine so far. I love my CF clutch.

BTW Romson: No I dont have the Corksport ECU, I bought a KL36 off a buddy and have been running that.
