I believe the rx7 circlips are too weak/tiny to hold the stubs in place....you can see the pass side one is pulled away 1/8"

Mindless insanity screaming here, but make CERTAIN that your tranny shaft is CLEAN before you put your throwout bearing in. I just wiped it down quickly and threw the new one in, and my motor ate it in 45 seconds. :(
You are a brave man to drop your tranny. Having done it once, it's a well-spent $350+ at most shops.

The worst tranny to drop(that I come across) is the AWD DSM trannies, cause they still in a FWD platform and there is no room in that engine bay.
