Whoever told you that... kick them in the *****. It not fit without an adapter, and the T5 is made by Borg Warner, not Ford.

the Rx7 doesn't have a t5, although some Fords use a Mazda transmission…

the 94+ manual transmission rangers do use a Mazda transmission, however its a P type, which is completely different than the R type that is used in the rotary cars
