Question about Japanese Automatics
In Japan all FC's were turbo, so therefore there must have been automatic TII's (since I get them in fairly often in my J-Spec motor shipments)
The question at hand is:
Do the N/A US-Spec trannies fit on the J-Spec TII trannies?
Inquiring minds want to know...

Short answer? I don't think it's ever been definitively answered. Chris Meadors, IIRC, was looking for info on the J-spec auto TII tranny computer for his auto TII vert, but never really got any.
So, any aussies, kiwis, or rising-sun-ians (cuz "Jap" is supposedly a "bad word" now) wanna chime in?

I had an '88 T2 auto, and i'm from New Zealand.
Many autos were sold in the Australian market, both N/A and Turbo. In fact, most of the 2nd gen. 7's i see around are auto.
I even looked at a 1st gen auto when i was looking for my new 7, not that i considered buying it.
Presumably these cars are the same as the Japanese models.
I since sold the auto RX for a manual of similar vintage, but it is much more fun to drive.
I believe the trannys will bolt right up, though the auto tranny has a different cross-member from the manual, so some mods will be necessary for a manual-auto or auto-manual conversion.

Let me clarify my question. If someone has a US automatic RX-7, and they wanted to install an automatic J-Spec engine of the same series, would the automatic engine from Japan bolt up to the automatic tranny from the US.
I think the answer is yes, but I was just looking for clarification before I told others that
