With the gearbox, Mazda offered a competition version with a thicker case and some stroger internals, which is no doubt what Moffat was using.
He was always known for having a little more mechanical sympathy than others as well and was very mindful of not abusing the transmission.
I've even read in an old Modern Motor mag where Barry Lake was driving the car at Calder and was asked not to lect the engine buck at low revs but to push the clutch so as not to damage the transmission. Wise words coming no doubt from experience!
