Need a starter and already have the wrong one delivered. From memory
 it has to be a manual transmission from about 03 – 09. Is this
correct?

Hi Neil Tracy’s RD-1C Installation guide says: 1986-91 Auto Trans
flywheel 1988 non turbo  RX-7 Manual Starter He writes - “years
1987-1991 are all the same as far as we have been able to determine”

Steve, Will you be at AusFly?

Steve sent this scan of Tracy's doc.

There are two very similar starters in that year range. 13 tooth and
12 tooth. There is a slight difference in mounting bolt dimensions.
Both seem to work on the auto tx flex plate.

You want the electric starter motor for an auto rx7 (2.0 kW), it fits on the nose of a manual starter (1.2 kW) https://youtu.be/d1CeCd7cJjE
