Does Mazda or any aftermarket offer ring gears for flywheels?
Obviously, this is about my RX-7. I broke a tooth off it trying to remove that damn 54 mm nut on the eccentric shaft.
I blew my motor (5-sp) and am swapping a new motor into it (auto). I need my old flywheel and clutch, but the nut prevented me from getting it off. Now, the nut is off and my flywheel is a tooth lighter in weight.
I am all about a lightened flywheel, but don't think this is the route to take.
My question: Does any aftermarket companies offer replaceable ring gears or does Mazda at least offer them? Or, do I have to find an entire flywheel?

I called my local Mazda dealership and they told me IF they could get a flywheel, that would be my only option. They told me it was only sold as a single assembly, ring gear and flywheel together.
Hmmm......

I already have a used flywheel coming, but I am curious why my local dealer told me that you have to buy a whole flywheel.
You would think when I laughed in his face at the $350 price that he might have wanted to offer me the ring gear instead, to at least make a sale of some sort instead of me walking away.

Haven't we ALL heard this
Unless the part has been discountiuned....here are the parts numbers off of my diagrams.
For a 91
Turbo - N318-11-502A
NA - 0866-11-702
Just call the dealer with part numbers and see what they say.
Also, don't forget to get the flywheel resurfaced!
