OEM?
Advance Auto has a handy feature on their website where you can confirm exact OEM fitment...
Mazmart is another option for a new OEM starter for cheaper than dealer prices.
Did you verify that the battery terminals are not the problem, as we keep suggesting to you in the other thread?

I've had a dead batt that read good, but wouldn't start, sounded just like a bad starter. I even jumped it, tried hooking up two batteries with cables, and even jumping that set up, but still no crank, finally I removed the battery completely and hooked up to my other cars batt with cables(no batt in the rx8) and it started. Try that first. A new batt is cheaper than a starter, and easy to test.

You don't read what we type out for you...
We were telling you to just do that, it's your battery terminals separating from the clamps. Removing the clamps and re-seating them when you reconnect solves the problem.

I guess a Manual...
Try Paul at Mazmart, great and fair guy to deal with, knows what he is talking about when it comes to OE parts and carries a range of Mazda parts stock, new and used.
Paul has a brand new updated Starter for a manual, $395.00

AND this is the last of the Brand New units as they are now re-mans from Mazda.
