have had 2 reco'd, cost 75 and 80 bucks. one is in my car now going strong. also, the na manual flywheel 9 1/2" will also work in a mx7 gearbox including the mx7 starter motor. the ring gear is exactly the same between the both flywheels.

Ive got a couple here, I wouldnt let one go for less than $250, the auto's and the MF5 ones are the same, the MX7 ones are deffinetly different, I dont think it would even bolt up as the MX7 ones are flat on the front, and the non turbo ones have a little hood over them, its the difference in the boxes and not the ring gear thats the problem.

I had my MX7 starter recoed a couple of times. My starter guy can definatly get parts for em. Had a full reco only a few months ago. LOL i didnt know the parts where so scarce

the parts to reco them arent. the second hand mx7 starters are the rare part. if anyone has a spare one. they don't want to let it go. can someone give me some of the bosch numbers. i'm going to do a bit of investigating.

"are u sure man i thort it was all auto same and na manual same as autos but the mx7 was the only one that didnt bolt up to the others can any one confirm thats actualy done it" yeh, jim berry just built my clutch and he used 9.5" flywheel just re drilled it. only differance between the na and turbo flywheel is a lil extra bit behind teeth, like a outer lip witch gives it the extra 1/2" i guess. __________________
