Paul,

Perhaps Lynn can answer this one easily.  I am wondering if the
transmission spline size and shaft was enlarged when Mazda went from a
13B to  the 20B.   Do racers use oversized shafts and splines to handle
the larger amounts of torque and power.

Those pro road racers using 3 rotors are using $50,000 Emco transmissions.

Most of the airplane people are using the same input shaft Tracy is using on the two rotor. I think it is from a Ford V8 or some such. It mates up with a clutch disk center. I don't know what Mazda did on the 3 rotor Cosmo. Your buddy
should be able to answer that question.
