the trannies are definetly the weak point in these cars...their have been many cases of theose being replaced.

You know its the same tranny in the 6 speed miata right? That tranny is barely adequate for the n/a miatas. They were having problems breaking them. And the mazdaspeed miata has shot peened gears for durability, with its 178 hp and 166 ft lbs. But the RX8, to my knowledge, doesnt have the shot peened gears.
