I have an '85 2.3 Mitsubishi diesel 4x4 with an FM145 with the smaller 23 spline input shaft like the 2.3 gassers had and a 2.3 diesel specific detactable bellhousing. So will my diesel specific detatchable bellhousing bolt on to a TK-5 or do I have to stay with the FM145? I don't think the TK-5 was ever offered behind the 2.3 mitsubishi diesel, but I could be wrong. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
 
the tk WAS offered behind a diesel (or at least the fact that i can buy a rebuild kit for a diesel TK5 would say so), so it should work.

Was the TK-5 offered behind the 85-87 2.3 liter Mitsubishi Turbo diesel or just the 83-84 2.2 liter Mazda N/A diesel?

the early diesel was a perkins, not mazda. and it was only available in the 2.2, sorry.

So back to my original question, Can you take a bellhousing off a FM145 and bolt it onto a TK-5 ir do they have a different bolt pattern?
 
So I found a bellhousing and they say it will fit an 1986 turbo diesel and mate to a 4d55engine. The part number is E59A-7505-BC. Does this seem correct. Here are a few pics of the bellhousing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
