Unhappy RX-8 5Speed Clutch

I swap my AT to 5 speed tranny on my greddy turbo 8. The clutch is brand new less than 5000KM on it, but first grear is just not graping the clutch plate at all. (WhenI do a high rev take off) Normal 1st grear drive is fine. Anyway, I'm looking for a aftermarket clutch kit for 5speed. I bought a EXEDEY kit and the clutch plate is too big to fit into 5speed. I thought they sent me a wrong part. So I bought another set of ACT heavy duty clutch kit and it is same problem. I thought 5speed and 6 speed clutch is all the same. But it turn out it is not. Anyone out there who have change their 5speed clutch to aftermarket one. If so, please help me where to get one. Thanks!

Yes, the 5speed and 6speed are different.

They don't sell the 5 speed in the US (except thru the Mazdaspeed Motorsport racer program) so you're wasting your time posting this here.
