    It'll be a mostly stock KL with high compression pistons. Nothing crazy.

      unless youve tried it no, you dont know, so please dont assume.

Best bet is to just buy the transmission you need for your motor, you will spend as much or more rebuilding and getting the custom machine work done, and with a jy tranny, usually you get a short warranty incase it doesn't work.

      There are also differences in the way the engine is clocked, or the way the differential is clocked, however you want to look at it, between g series transmissions.

        Your talking about swapping KIA and Mazda clutch housings and case/internals....if there are differences between the Mazda case, and the ford/mercury case, then KIA starts making a third version, you really think it will be identical in every way? If I were a betting man I would say the halves will swap, and the gearsets/primary secondary shafts/reverse gear/differential line up with the same holes. I'm just trying to let the op know that, from experience, I know even putting the same transmission back together 'right' requires new shims, then seals and bearings if you want to go the extra mile, and good luck sourcing the parts without paying a dealership. There's more to 'just swapping' housings, even the mounts will probably be different.

          the kia case swaps over I said that in my last post, ive tried it on the bench it fits...

          putting any tranny together right requires the same so your point there is moot.
