It just looks like a simple screw in type add on. Why not for autos?

No idea why did Mazda declare that it wouldn't work for automatics. As nuke0907 said, it will work just fine. Many people with auto transmissions have it.

Fantastic, definitely next on my list. Any recommendations on where to purchase? Not necessarily looking for cheapest price, just best service and guarantee of a quality product

This place is $30 cheaper and they are SoCal, so you save on shipping.

Yeah the Arizona guy on Ebay is a bit of a flake - will ship, won't ship, changes his mind and changes his prices.

Rumour has it that his parts are all old stock Yellow, and he paints them as the orders come in......
