I'm looking at an RX7, forgot the year though.... I now its either fb or fc though. non turbo.... I'm most think first gen though, (unless first gens didnt have 13B's) thats why I posted here.



It has an automatic transmission. The guy says he thinks they burned it up becuase it drives slowly.

I wondering, is there something else that could cause this? Like could low fluid level? or something much more simple than a swap or rebuild.



And, if the trans is bad, where would I get a rebuild kit, or could get it rebuild in middle tennesse?



Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ask in the 2nd gen section because no 1st gens with 13Bs had automatics.

I think I speak for all of us when I say you do not want to drive an automatic FB. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

you prob dont want to drive an auto fc! if its just going really slow its prob the engine and not the tranny. check the compression.

And I dont think anyone would get the rebuild right the first time, sounds like a money pit, if your going to sink money get a stick. if your already in it, drive it for a little while and pay attention to any smells, that will help determine whats wrong.

I thank you everyone for your ideas..... I have to admit however, fool that I am.... it really was an fc. I looked at it again and it was so obvious to me then.
