79 5-Speed MT Question (Brand new here)
I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I recently purchased a 79 with a 5 speed manual trans and I cant find anywhere online what the name of the transmission is. Any help would be appreciated.

Any idea if the 12a transmission will mate to a 13b-rew?

the rotary bolt pattern is the same from 74-2012, so yes.
the NA uses a different diameter flywheel/clutch (215/225mm) than the Rx8/Turbo Rx7's (235?), and that needs to change to match the transmission, while keeping the balance weight correct for the engine
