I hate to kick dead horses, but i have to with this one. So i know that the FS5W71 transmission went allot of cars, i do know that for different engines you need different bell-housing's, and in some cases clutches and Trow out bearings.

So i have searched and have not found much, my Rb20 trans is gonna blow soon, fifth is gone fourth will be soon, and so forth, i have a parts hardbody, with a good trans and it will work for my purpose. My issue is with a rb20 bell housing, but ka24 gearing ext do which clutch and throw out bearing should i use, a KA or RB,

I'm almost curtain it needs to be an RB20 clutch and TOB, but i have doubt's and don't want to have to return a set for another set.

Generally the clutch, TOB and bell housing are engine dependent. The rest is swappable.
