I wonder what the difference is with the auto and manual Eshaft?

usually its just the pilot bearing

dealercost/mazdacomp on the shaft is 138.00.... about the same as the gsl-se shaft

Hrm...

rx8 crank $138

front stat gear $74

rear stat gear $93

rotor bearing (comp) $84 x 2

total upgrade dollars = 473 USD + shipping

wow that adds up fast. How many rotary engines have you heard of that failed due to oil failure or failure of the stat gears when used at sub 7000 rpms and under 300 hp?

Building a motor can quickly get out of hand!
