Did Mazda put a 13b in any of their trucks/pickups, or just the RX7?


13B was used in ALL rotary pickups, circa 1974. All RX-4 and Cosmo (RX5) used 13B, as did first
generation RX-7 GSL-SE model only. If I recall correctly, five speed transmissions first became
available with the RX-7 (the RX2, RX3, RX-4, Cosmo, and REPU had 4 speeds only, I think). The
early 5 speed transmissions were not too robust.
