Hi all,
I just picked up an 86 RX-7 tonight. Its non turbo with 149k miles on the odometer. Previous owner said he had a motor put in and new clutch about 20k miles ago, but no receipts. Anyway, it doesn't smoke on startup or while driving and seems to drive fine. Im getting a brake pulsation so I think it needs some new rotors up front. AC doesn't work either... maybe just needs a recharge. And the shifter is very loose. Shifts fine, doesn't pop out of gear and doesn't grind. Is there any fix to the sloppyness though? Maybe the bushings are bad?

I'm coming from a 91 AWD talon and picked this up for a decent price so I just wanna fix whats not working on it and have it as a daily driver. Thanks for your help!

wow this board moves fast... can anyone shed some light on the shifter issue before this post gets swept away?

Yep, it's the bushings (I think)

You make it sound as if most (if not all) of your AC components are in car. This means it won't be too hard to get it back to working order.

bushings are out, same on my 88gxl, while ur at it, buy a miata short shifter =) thats what im doing...A/C compressor is prolly out, turn the car on, turn the a/c on full blast, open the hood, and see if the clutch is spinning on the compressor...theyre cheap on the forum. prolly 30 bucks shipped tops..Ahh u have a DSM...wanted one with a 16g, but reliability?..not so hot from all ive read. good buy with the Rex
