Same Clutch disk and pressure plate for Mazda B2500 gas and diesel?

[duskylim]

Hi I'm dusky lim from the Philippines.

I have a 1998 Mazda B2500 with a WL-31 I4 diesel engine and manual transmission.

I recently turbo-charged the engine and the power's great - but I have a problem.

The engine produces so much more torque that the clutch is slipping.

I installed a new clutch disk, pressure plate and release bearing (kit from EXEDY) BEFORE I installed the turbo.

But it still slips.

I recently found a few suppliers of high performance clutch kits from the U.S.A.

The only thing is that they can't say if their kits will fit on my engine.

My question is:

Will the clutch of a US Mazda B2500 or Ranger (gas) fit onto a diesel Mazda B2500?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Best Regards,

Dusky Lim

Do you know what kind of transmission you have?

Also I hate that you have a diesel, stupid epa

The engine is a WL-31, the transmission is a R15M-D.

Its a 5-speed manual, and its the same for both naturally-aspirated and turbocharged diesel engines.

I don't know what to tell you, that isn't a transmission I've seen anyone but you mention. You could pull your clutch out and measure everything then see if critical dimensions match up.
