You need to get the flywheel housing off a 5 speed FD gearbox if you want to do that ....

What car is it going into ? An RX7 or 8 ?

oops - just realised it's going into an 8. That should work fine - it should bolt straight up and clutch will work .

use an RX8 6spd flywheel with an RX8 clutch, the RX8 flywheel is a direct bolt-on
