How this idea? 20B + RX8 Transmission

Everyone talks shit about the RX-8 trans. Mine has 198000 miles on it, original, and shifts perfect and makes no noise. It is all in how you drive the car. If you are banging into gears with reckless abandon, and trying to be the drift king, then yes, it will fail. But just driving aggressive, and knowing HOW TO SHIFT will make it last a long time.

People say the same thing about the NA trans behind a TII. I had zero issues, and I always drove aggressively, and tortured it on the Dragon 3 years in a row.
