Clutch and flywheel are different. Box is the same apart from maybe the ratios.

if the rst has 220 clutch and flywheel and the same style box then how does the starter motor meet up with the flywheel if the flywheel is smaller than a rst item?

diameter is the same on all flywheels. It's about what size clutch they are machined to accept.
