I think the bolt pattern is the same but the shaft from the tranny output to the rear is different. let me check.

Edit: This is from Felix Rotarys website. found here

All North American spec Mazda rotary manual transmissions from 1974 through 1991 are the same length (~32") from the tip of the input shaft to the tip of the output shaft, with the possible exception of the 1974 RX-2, which may be around 40 mm shorter. Bellhousing and input shaft were shortened for 1993-up models.
