Hi, I'm a long time member but a newbie when it comes to posting. I had a few questions regarding my 1974 Mazda RX4

1. Will a 5 speed 1979-80 RX7 transmission bolt right up w/o cutting the floor board? (I've installed a GSL-SE transmission before - but I had to cut approximately 2 inches.)

2. Where can I get suspension bushings?

3. I have first gen RX7 suspension with stock RX7 springs in the front - and it rides low. Any recommendations to make the car higher?

Thanks a bunch!

 

the SA(79-80) tranny will fit without modification like u had to with the FB(81-85) tranny. the FB tranny has what's known as a remote shifter which moves the shifter approx 4" rearward. the rx7 struts r shorter than the rx4 struts the reason it rides lower. get with billy waits(bwaits on here) at respeed.com. he's working on products for the rx3 which has simular parts as the rx4.

 

Awesome!! Thanks for the info Michael! Now time to start looking for the SA 5 speed transmision! Let me know if you come across one! Cheers!
