 Paul,
 These are the Mazda parts, you can see there isn't much difference to the
 Mazda and the Ford parts I sent under separate e-mail.

 Just for your and ACRE information, I guess now that there is a
 merger between the two, some sharing of technology is
 inevitable.

 I'm trying to see if I can purchase parts from here but I very
much doubt it.

I think what you are looking at here is a scaled down version of the
C6. It was built by Jatco starting about 25 years ago. Japan Automatic
Transmission Company. A joint venture between Toyota and Ford.
I had such an auto transmission in my 1976 13B Cosmo and my 1975 RX4 station
wagon. Now I don't know for sure what
transmission they used in the three rotor Cosmo build in Japan. Could
have been a C6. I doubt the Jatco would have been up to the HP generated
by the turbo 3 rotor but I could be wrong. I don't think they used
an automatic
in the 3rd gen RX7 but I could be wrong about that too.

In addition to the parts gif here is a photo of the Jatco parts.

I will say the RX8 auto transmission is big and it could be scaled
up version of the orginal Jatco. It could also be something else.
Don't know for sure. Here too is a picture of that.

   The transmission in the 1/2 ton Ford trucks are made by Mazda, same
as in the Mazda truck.
  I have a fiend that has had nothing but problems with one as they
won't hold up to heavy loads.

   Ken

Is that manual or automatic Ken?

BTW people if you have a starter lying around please measure the pilot
hole diameter (around 2.6 inches), the OD of the pinion, the ID of the 
pinion and count the number of pinion teeth. Also take a few pictures 
if possible and we will try to identify them.
