I have a 2004 AT Rx8, might be pulling the engine and transmission and putting it up for sale. 49k miles fully dressed engine with PCM and transmission with tcu, and with starter and all. (minus ac compressor)
No transmission problems, shifts fine. engine has no problem with hot or cold starts. havent gotten compression check... (list of to do's)

 

500 tops, and Im serious.

 

Yeah, about that.

It's value would go up to maybe $750 if you had a compression test that confirmed good scores, drop to ~$250 or less if the compression test was failing or close to failing.

4-port ATs just aren't as common and are the inferior engine, although plenty of the 4-port ATs go through engines.

 

Are you about to swap engines? If yes, what kind of engine your planning to swap?

 

I wanted to put a 6 port 6 speed...the last of what i need is up for sale by a forum member right now..but might have hit a snag.

 

It'd probably be cheaper and more practical for you to just buy an 8 with a 6speed.

 

I might Be intrested. would be nice to have a good compression motor on the backburner. just tell me if you get down to tearing it out...

 

swap is not worth it, even if u can do all labor urself.

if u are doing it for the "I can do it" factor then it doesn't matter how much it cost, right ?

and u have to swap pretty much EVERYTHING from the MT car to the AT car. sounds easy but it's going to take quite a while, assume u know where everything goes and 1 person doing the swap(you) and u have quick hands, it probably takes a week or 2.

but if you're doing it cuz you think the 4sp AT is slow (sadly, it is fuxking slow), then u might as well sell it and get a 6 sp MT. saves u a lot of time and money.
