Is the fix to this leak a replacement of the rubber seal visible at the very back end of the tailshaft (that seal which can be replaced from the outside simply without driveshaft removal) or is it an internal seal that requires parting of the cases? I filled a spare tranny with oil which...

Anyone have a handy list of parts and pn's for seals, bushings, bearings that should be replaced as a matter of course when installing a used tranny (known to run ok -- don't plan to open it up)? I'll probably run one session with new cheap oil, drain hot, and then put in Redline MTL.

Myself and 2-3 fellow IT & RX-7 roadracers are looking for a good, 2-3 day advanced racing school to attend between now and end of Feb. We each have 1-3 yrs. racing experience but a serious desire to step up our results (and an equal desire to escape the Canadian winter for a few days). All of...

I remember reading here that the common problem of getting false neutrals when shifting to 3rd can be solved with a MazdaComp pilot bushing. From a search through the parts catalogue on their website I'm not sure which part it is that's being recomended for a 12A stock tranny. More specifics...
