will a GSL-SE transmission bolt up to my 12a?
Just wanna kno if i need a new bellhousing or not to actually use this transmission. Mine is starting to go bad (started making some whirring kinda sound in 1st,2nd, and 3rd) Tried looking it up on forums but gave up because my 28.8.k modem hates me (yay!) Any help here would be great

love the braaaap
Any RX-7 transmission from 81-85 will interchange, they are all the same besides small differences in gear ratios, mostly 5th gear. The SE tranny uses a longer 5th gear to get slightly better gas mileage on the highway by taking advantage of the SE 13B's low end torque advantage. Only the 2nd gen and newer tranny and 80 and older tranny have different shifter positions.

Swapping in a TII transmission is a whole different story with some added work involved not to mention costs.
The only weak point I have found in any of the FB transmissions is the front counter shaft bearing. After they have been replaced in a rebuild I have never had any other issues with a SE trans or 12a trans. Of course a lot has to do with how the transmission is used.

Swapping in another FB transmission is not a hassle.
