Of course I drive up 2 very large hills to get to my house.. that is why the call it a Plateau... so i am just waiting for the day when the ******* tranny fly's apart. Oh yea when i pulled the tranny from the 88, there was a huge hole in the bell housing, did not look stock and is not in any other rx-7 tranny I have had out... guess that should have been a clue.

Well it appeared that they blew the clutch so bad the put a hole in the bell housing. Oh well, all will be well soon. I will have a replacement tranny and I will be a happy idiot.

Problem solved. It was the flywheel nut backing off 
The reason it seemed sturdy before was because the tranny input shaft was holding the clutch and flywheel in place.
Now that I know whats wrong, I should have her running nicely tomorrow evening!
PS - I will also take pics of the garbage bag full of carbon I got out of 13baces exhaust I bought from him
