I second the T2 trans. Just as strong, and if you get a USDM actually has a decent overdrive for fuel economy (if you care, if not.. go JDM as the gearing on 4th and 5th are much closer).
It would be the same if not an easier swap than the FD trans and parts are just THAT much cheaper for T2 stuff.
The RX8 6spd actually isnt a bad trans, it has a weak point (the ball you referred to) which can actually be modified and never cause a problem again. I'm not sure but I'm wondering mazda fixed the issue on the newer trans... I'll have to do some research. It should hold 400lb ft of torque though once modified.
