I contacted a a transmission shop they have plenty of 3rd Gen
manual non turbo bell housings but that bell housing pic is
from what he says is a Turbo manual trany, those are very hard
to come by plus they don't sell that tranny without the bell
housing. Can we verify if that is for a turbo or non turbo motor?
that seems to be the biggest issue with these bell housings.

All third gen RX7 are turbo's. I don't think he is all that
familiar with rotaries. Try E-bay or new.
Here is the second gen manual TX bell.

Tony,
The Cosmo bell housing has a depth of 167mm = 6.6 inches. So, it is a
little deeper than the 2nd gen manual housing that Paul has pictured.
The Cosmo weighs 13.0 lb and Paul measured the 2nd gen manual one a few
months ago to weigh 7.5 lb. Another consideration is whether the flex
plate that fits Tracy's resilient spline adapter will mate with the
starter gear if you change to a different bell housing. The Cosmo flex
plate has a larger diameter and does not fit Tracy's spline adapter.
Aubrey
So too the 3rd gen man has a larger ring gear. Question for
Tracy.
