Possible Noob question about CB7

Frisky Arab · Jan 14, 2012

Well its about that time for a new clutch in the CB7(or as me and my buddies call it, "The Beast Machine") and while looking on OEMAcuraParts.com it asks me for the transmission type. I know it is a 5-speed, but what is the difference between the KA5MT, and the KL5MT? I only ask because there are 2 different clutches listed in the part list and they have different part numbers(Therefore I assume there is one for the KA5MT and one for the KL5MT) and even if both are the same thing, I would rather be safe then sorry before I order it.

By the way I wasn't sure what section to post this in. If this is the wrong section I apologize.

One is california only, for emissions, and the other for the other 49 states.

So part-wise are they identical - as in one will work on the other transmission/engine it is intended on, and vice versa?

But which one is which? I'm assuming KL5MT is the California one?

I'm not sure, that is why I am asking. I mean from the tiny picture it gives me they look identical, and they have the exact same price, but I would rather not pay for it only to find out there is a difference.
