5-speed Transmission

I've heard the Miata 5-speed transmisson bolts up to the 4-port Renesis. I've also heard the 5-speed 3rd Gen Rx-7 tranny bolts up too. Any confirmations on these rumors? If they are true I plan on having a 5-speed Rx-8

Don't bother with that, just buy the 5-speed transmission from the european rx8's like i have on my 4port, then you will be sure it fits.

You'd probably be better off swapping in the 5 speed manual like they said or...trading it in on a new 6 spd auto, or 6spd manual or--which is probably the most cost effective option--supercharger or turbocharge.

And the ECU to match. unless the TCM can be removed from the system.
Not certain how the TCM interacts with the ECU just yet.

I stated awhile ago that I would have a 4port w/ a 5 spd and a SC and Zoom44 said that it wouldn't be possible to move an Euro ECU that had a 5 spd attached into an American car that has an auto.

Still want to prove him wrong

That would be nice but they don't come in yellow!
