Do you think that putting a rx-8 6-speed tranny in to a older rx-7 is worth it. or is a turbo tranny a better investment?

 

i was told the the rx8 tranny wasnt trong enouph to hold the older models. what i would like to know along with this is if the drive shafts would fit in the 13bt FC and FD? arent the CF?

 

the rx8 tranny is holding like 238 which is more than most NAs will ever see. none of the driveshafts are cf, and you have to have custom shafts made when doing this stuff

 

The 8 does have a carbon driveshaft...

 

hmm, didnt know that

 

Ha, it's ok, I didn't until I actually got the car and looked up more about the specs later on.

 

i tried looking for the goods that could be used when they first hit the net lol



i also herd u have the modify the thifter hole in the car because there not in the same spot

That would make sense because it's a different car and would have different placement of such things and I believe they mounted the FE engine a little further back than in the previous RX-7s.

 

This is another thread. They all say the RX-8 tranny sucks. May help.

I didn't realize the '8 had an LSD... wonder how one of those would work on a n FC...
