Are 5 Speed & 6 Speed Clutches different sizes? Got a sweet deal on a super low mileage excedy stock replacement clutch disk and pressure plate, I was told was from a 2003 Types S 6 speed. Went to install it on my 2003 JDM 5 speed and it is exactly the same in every other way but bigger.

Didn't see any option for 5 or 6 speed when looking to order clutches so I assumed they were the same. Was my assumption wrong or is this clutch not from the RX-8?

 

Anyone? Some kind of JDM only issue?

 

A quick Google reveals that 5-speed clutches are 225mm to 6-speeds 240mm. The whole 5-speed thing doesn't exist in North America, hence the silence. You might have more luck on UK rotary forums.

 

Thanks for the reply, was doing it wrong apparently, searched the wrong key words I guess.
