It would also help if they fit the fd case!
Mazda makes alot of stuff that fits other cars i guess!

Any help would be nice if you know if the gears will work in the fd 3 rd gen!

I'm sure he's not the only who'd be interested in the ring gear measurement.

Care to share with the rest of us, please?
