Racing Beat literature indicates that the standard transmission used in
the RX7 is somewhat fragile.  Note that the Turbo cars came with a
different transmission that is said to be stronger.  Internet info also
seems to back this up with indications that the mainshaft bearings are
not up to the task and have high failure rates when abused.  I was also
considering this approach until these weaknesses showed up.  Maybe Mike
Willis or Bruce Turrentine can provide us with real word experience on
the strengths of this box.  I'm saving my pennies and will probably buy
a PSRU from Tracy.
