Are all automatic transmission bellinghousings the same?

Will they fit all engines?

Where does the starter fit on an RX8 bellhousing?

Can anyone direct me to a dimensioned drawing for the bellhousing on an RX8
engine?

Does anyone have an RX8 automatic transmission bellhousing they wish to
part
with?

Thanks, Milo



I have a bell from an 81 rx, and a bell from an 89 rx. Both fit on my rx8
engine. The early bell is about 2" shorter.
Whatever bell you use, you should get the starter, and flexplate designed
for that bell. I purchase rx auto trans bells, with flexplate and starter,
every time I see one in the yard.

You will be good with an earlier rx bell. I would have gotten an rx8 bell
if I could have gotten a yard to sell me one for a reasonable price, they
would not do it, foolishly claimed they had to sell them with the trans.

I believe the bell for the 89 rx is the same up to 2001 rx7, so far as it's
length goes.
Correct me if I am wrong.
There appears to be very few 93 up rx7 parts available, due to the high
value of this era car.

I want to buy a 93-95 rx, so I monitor the prices. If I would have known
how good these cars are back when I purchased my first 944 turbo in 94, I
would have bought the rx instead.
