Keep your 9.5" flywheel/clutch/starter motor setup.
Larger range of clutches and not needed to change..

^^^^ thats correct, and you can use all the clutch s from the r33 turbo range so you can still get a very good clutch.

20-03-08, 16:51 GMT+10#12 You CAN run a 9.5" flywheel (MF5) with a MX7 box. just make sure you're using an N/A (or turbo auto) starter motor.
You need:
-MX7 box and shifter
-MX7 tailshaft
-MF5 sandwich plate
-MF5 (or turbo auto) starter motor
-clutch/pressure plate to suit 9.5" flywheel (MF5, anything from the Skyline range)
-MX7 clutch fork/bearing
-MF5 flywheel
That should be all you need.

No, an MX5 is a Mazda.
But seriously, you can only use the clutch from an MF5 in a MX7 if you are still using the MF5 (9.5") flywheel.

yes you can it just mounts to the body in the other holes (there is 3 holes on each side of the tunnel) cant remember which one mounts forward or backward but they deffinetly fit both boxes...

18-06-08, 21:34 GMT+10#14 They'll use the same holes between MF5 and MX7; its one set for autos and one set for manuals.

19-06-08, 08:10 GMT+10#16 Defently use your 9.5" flywheel/starter like matty was saying. Heaps more options when it comes to upgrading your clutch.

19-06-08, 16:15 GMT+10#17 + when it comes time to change your starter its alot cheapper and easyer to get one to suit the 9.5 inch clutch

Sick-Red-VL: you're right regarding the crossmembers, and AFAIK there are a set of holesw for manual and a set for auto. But it doesn't really matter, it'll line up with one or the other.

21-06-08, 12:52 GMT+10#19 With the cross member, you can use it, but you will ned to make up some spacers to sit it down a litle bit.
Can use Mf5 tailshaft, but will need to change the yoke to an Mx7 unit. Can get them from hardy spicer for 100 bucks.
Use Mf5 clutch, flywheel, starter and sandwhich plate as mentioned
Accelterator cable, i think you can get the mf5 one to fit onto the mx7 speedo sender
