You can have Mazdatrix special order it for $100 more and two weeks.
You can try a mazdacomp because looking at PWR's website, it's possible they make them for Mazdacomp but not sure if MazdaComp carry's the auto version.
You can buy it from www "rotor motor sports" dot com
(can't post a link but best price of these four and most likely in stock)
or these guys

For the other question: Auto's have a transmission cooler allready and it connects to the radiator. So there is only 2 choices: 1. Stock, 2. PWR

Oh wait, craps ("AWR")
Sorry, I mixed up brand names!
It's "AWR" and as far as I know, only www.Mazdatrix.com can special order it (unless rx7store knows where to get it from).
I think it's ok for me to post a price since they don't carry it in stock $590.00

You can use any aftermarket radiator on the auto. I haven't a clue why the tranny coolant runs through the stock radiator, but it doesn't provide any cooling to it by my discernment. You can just bypass it with a line and if you're paranoid there is room behind the stock cooler to pick up a $20-30 thin tranny cooler from an auto parts store and put it behind the stock cooler.

PWR is the co that makes radiators for Mazdacomp (according to their website). Someone else memtioned they make them for M2 also, but I don't know if that's true.
AWR is a different company and Mazdatrix is the only place I know of that sells them and they are the only brand I know of that makes i=one for autos.

I don't, however, believe that there is a cooling capability provided by the stock radiator to the tranny fluid passing through it. I haven't taken an auto radiator apart to see what the differences are, but it looks to me like it only passes through the base and not through the fins, therefore providing very little, if any temperature drop (and it might even raise temps?). I could be wrong, but I almost think the tranny line passes through the base of the radiator out of convenience.

I will make a call to PWR tomorrow and see it they have any for the auto. I was under the impression they didnt and appologize for any wrong info I may have given. Feel free to send me an email tomorrow and I will get more info for you.

Oh sorry DK.
Jason, the Company that sells the radiator for the Auto is ("A"WR) AWR. There is another brand that you allready carry ("P"WR) PWR.
Mazdatrix carries the AWR, but i'm not sure if they will tell you their source. Maybe you can just ask what the initials stand for and what country then search for it.

Thanks for all the info. guys. I am still trying to decide which way to go. I have been thinking about a std. aftermarket rad. & then putting an aftermarket tranny cooler with a fan on it right behind my fmic. I think this would provide enough cooling for the tranny plus the one I was looking at pulls 1200cfm. This might also help pull more air thru the intercooler. What do you think??
Thanks
Thanks
