    Protege AWD clutch

    Can I use a bp fwd clutch kit in my AWD (flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, etc)?

    Your car came with a B8,

    As you can see the BP clutch is bigger.

    But, if you use the flywheel and pressure plate from the bp as well, then you should be fine. Think of the flywheel, clutch pressure plate as a package. You can change the package, but not parts of the package.

        If you're using the BP GTX flywheel, you have to use a BP GTX clutch kit.

        1st gen is 100% correct about matching the clutch kit to the flywheel.

        If you swap out your flywheel for a FWD BP flywheel, you will have no issues

          in one of my 4WDs, the one with the B8, I'm using a Flyin' Miata lightweight flywheel, and an ACT clutch from an MX6/Probe. Light flywheel FTW. very strong pedal, not so much. Still works fine, but it is a strong spring to deal with.

          I plan on using the whole FM Clutch Happy Meal with my next change, since it uses a clutch that has a higher torque rating than the ACT, but with the finger geometry changed so the pedal effort is not as hard.
