You can probably get away with the stock clutch master cylinder on the FC, but you will definitely need the FD clutch flex hose and clutch slave cylinder. Any Mazda dealer can get those for you. The FD trans might have the stock clutch slave cylinder bolted onto it?
The stock FC trans mounts will not fit, as the trans mounts on the FD trans are different.
I can't verify if the trans length is the same, as this might require a different / custom driveshaft to make everything mate up.

Typical FD clutch kit prices are significantly more than an FC clutch kit. You might want to stay with the FC transmission for the cheaper clutches.

Just throw a turbo II tranny in there, it's nothing to cut a driveshaft, did it earlier today on a 97 v8 s-10, had to cut out 3 inches. Or just take the extra money from not buying the fd trans and buy a whole TII drivetrain.

actually, aren't there FD guys that run some FC drivetrain parts (like LSD's)? Turbo II tranny's can hold a load of torque (which is the tranny killer).
