Yea, wasn't sure what the OP was planning to do (RX8 or RX7). Any of these trans in an RX7 vs RX8 is going to pose a few challenges. I think fitting it to the RX8 would be far simpler since both are PPF cars and mount on the same side. As far as mating to the engine and shifter location, dunno yet...

NC2 6spd isn't much better unfortunately, which is why if I'm going to spend that money, I want it spent on the right setup.

It is probably the 2nd most common convo I have with RX8 owners who are still shocked that I'm on my original engine and original trans. The RX8 trans is actually wonderful in many ways... you just need to treat it right.

Redline is all we use in any of the cars (Rx7, Rx3, Miata, Rx8, etc. etc.) but the trucks get Mobil 1 because Ford.
I'm sure we'll discuss transmissions more when the time comes. I'm so deep into so many projects right now. I share in your disease, just not as good at it, lol.
