Not with an mtx75 box.
focus rs 6 paddle.
Alternatively a focus rs cover and a cosworth paddle with the centre machined to clear the fins on the cover.

standard 2.0 flywheel will do, that's all i'm running, although my clutch does slip a bit, i suspect it's still bedding in, but if it's not right in the next couple of hundred miles i'll whip it off.

basically yes, FRS fitment clutch, depends on which mtx75 box you have, may need to grind a little of the bell housing if not a FRS one.
