VERY approx measurements as I couldn't find my verniers...

Output spline Dia = 25mm
Output Housing Seal Dia 40mm

Input shaft length = 55
Input Shaft Spline Dia = ... Forgot to measure it, but it takes a Zetec clutch if that helps!

Just noticed it's a cable-clutch... happy-days, no faffing about with a clutch m/c!

PS - it's for sale if you're interested.

A couple of my old posts:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=122121
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=121758

The transmission is in the car, so I can't take input or output shaft measurements. When I had the drive shaft made, the shop told me the output slip yoke was a standard Mazda RX/7 piece. No other details.

Another note, the MX5 transmission puts the engine at a 10o tilt to the exhaust side. Chris from raceline does sell a 10o wet sump and throttle bodies. They are not on his website yet, contact him for details.
