So yesterday I was changing the wires plugs and coils. I bought my 04 rx8 last week and wanted a fresh start. Well being it was at 46k miles and never changed a bolt snapped off the coil bracket holding coil number one. I have a new one ordered and will be in next week. Being that I need to drive my car I located a coil bracket from an automatic transmission from a junk yard for 10 bucks. Are the manual and transmission coil bracket the same part or will it not fit on my manual? I just want to have it in until my new one arrives. Sorry if this has been asked or is a dumb question... Thank you in advance.

 

I think the brackets should be same.

Also, try drilling the entire bolt out and put in a new bolt, that's what I did in my previous 04 lol.

 

Thank you for the quick reply

 

picked up the automatic coil bracket and it fit, like a glove! So if anyone is wondering same ignition set up.
