Manual Cosmos

[J4P RX]

Are there any?

I didnt think there was but found a really old drift vid on my pc last night and theres one in it. I assume it must be manual, it looked like it drove like a manual too.

Having a drift Cosmo would rock so much :D

JC only came out in Auto - a number in NZ have been converted to manual I believe.

Not sure about the earier cosmo?

It was a JC anyway.

Wonder how hard they are to get hold of :p

My brother may have one for sale (it is in Oz though).

A manual one?

Manual conversion of a 13B Cosmo is relatively straight forward.

You use a series-5 (89-91) RX-7 box, custom make the gearbox crossmember & modify the tail shaft to suit.

Use a GC-626 (83-85) pedal assembly & a series-5 clutch master cylinder.... BINGO

Now, with the ABS resorvior in the way & the 50% greater torque output. Using the same box on a 20B version could be asking for drama. Thats where further customization comes into play
